Saw a really nice-looking MX-5 while on the ol' bus tonight coming home.

The best way I can describe the colour is burnt orange, but I don't know if there's an official name for that shade - hence the quotes above.

The plates were 98-D, heading away from Dublin on the Naas Rd. at Kylemore Rd.

Perhaps this is the same kind of car I saw - is it a factory-made colour?

I've never seen that colour before, so I figured I'd post here to see if it was someone on the forum.

[edit to make the pics link a real link]

Nah, that colour is too nice to be called "ginger."

Very pretty car all the same, though!

I believe it's called chilli orange, pete in Belfast has same colour car..albeit his is a rare classic and many were damaged in transportation back in the day.

Very unusual cool colour and may well be called something else today.

As Ginger is beige in colour I don't see how it has anything to do with my (once) flame haired locks
