I had a Vauxhall Chevette in a similar colour to that. It was the right colour as it was a pile of Sh1te...

There's a second hand one in brown been for sale at my Honda dealer for ages, must be the colour putting people off. Up close it's not to bad but what on earth could you buy to go with it, not seen many brown helmets, jackets, topboxes etc. Ironically my partner really liked it...I steered her back towards the shiny white one !

Vespa cater to that kind of thing.

***but what on earth could you buy to go with it***

you could look out for an old Austin Alegro they did them in sh1te brown

I had a golden brown Ford Granada with a brown Vinyl roof! Bloody marvelous! Well, crap actually.
Brownish colours seemed quite the in thing during the 1970s.

No I think Lyn got it right. Austin Allegro should have been called the Austin Agro

have seen a few cars lately in this crap colour, and though why would you

The Brown Forza125 looks really good in the flesh. It's gloss black with dark brown inserts and a black seat.

seen the forza in white and that electric blue trims looks decent combo but brown is ugly on any vehicle.

That's not fair, my Allegro Sport ran pretty well. Obviously, getting it into 1st gear was always a struggle and you could unlock the doors with a screwdriver instead of a key, but these were just typical character. But it was quick. I mean, not fast like an Impreza Evo 9 GoFQ-self TURBO, but it would hit a ton pretty readily and was quite smart off-the-line back in the day.

When I px'd it for the Magnum it felt like a downgrade in some ways - no headrests or fifth gear But on the other hand, the Magnum was just a delight to throw around.

Thinking about it now, my car history is pretty shocking in place, although most were quite fun:
Datsun 1100
Allegro Sport
VX Magnum
TR7 (4 speed)
Chrysler Sunbeam GLS
Samba Cabrio
Cavalier Sportshatch
Astra SR
MG Montego EFi
Audi 80 Sport
309SRi
Cavalier mk2 GLSi
Rover 216 Twin Cam
Saab 9-3 inj
Saab 9-3 turbo
Grand Scenic 2.0T
CX-7 & Saab 9-3 Aero cabrio
