What's the most obscure factory colour applied to a Freelander. Only seen a handful of yellow, but I'm sure I saw some in a mushroom type colour when I went to the launch back in 1997. Although it could be my mind playing tricks.
 
I really like the 3 door in yellow, and I actually found one for sale when I was looking- trouble was it was a 1.8...
 
There might also be monogram colours, as that was an option with the MG Rover group. :)
 
The early cars in yellow and orange will have been G4 cars, also the Camel Trophy cars were a one off colour.
Atlantis blue 50th were the most expensive hippos, the only model with leather at the time.
 
Not bad- certainly different! Did you work for Cadburys? ;)

I had a 5 door 50th and very nice it was too. It was green one minute, blue the next. I also saw an orange 5 door for sale when looking and was very tempted. The yellow one was bright yellow like the US models. Very Tonka...

I don't see many oslo blue (dark blue) about. Mines 2001. I don't know when that colour was available but there int many FL2's in dark blue anorl. That could be down to the new buyers going for black or silver as it kept it's value more as second hand buyers liked to pick boring colours too.
 
I looked at a dark blue one too, but not a blue fan really. Was a nice blue I suppose. I hate silver cars, but after seeing a nice silver 3 door with the black plastics, I kind of liked it, but settled on black in the end, like most of my cars.
