Too many - the car is too big to be red (IMHO)...
Just think, what are the most inappropriate cars on the road - red Jag, red Merc, red Bentley (eeeuuuurgh). You get my drift...
Mark Willcox - Unsnared, like the wind in a net. Unsmeared, like a lotus in water. Leader of others, by others unled: The enlightened call him a sage
Personally I try to avoid red cars, every accident I have ever had, I have been driving a red car or hit one!
That said I think the ZT looks good in red, saw one today (Non V8) and it looks nice.
It was reported elsewhere:
18 Total:
Mk1 Saloons - 6
Mk1 Tourers - 1 Dev car
Mk2 Saloons - 6
Mk2 Tourers - 5
10 of the above being SE's
It's a matter of personal taste - Solar Red is my favourite colour!

When I bought my brand new V6 I said the one colour it would not be was red - and so what did I buy ................................... red!
Colin Ellis #456 It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end
My ZT190 was Solar red and I loved it, would have had 260 in that colour as well if it had been available at the time.

Nothing wrong with red better than black or common silver. Anyway i like my Rio Red V8 looks nice with my shiny rocker covers!
Mines a mk11 Solar red (222) looks nice especially after a few waxs. The only colour to have in my book!
Red is nice, just not Solar Red imo - or any solid Red. Metallic or Pearlescent just adds a bit of variation to the colour so its not just a big slab of one colour.
Did have #207, now belongs to John :(
One day, I'll be back in the 260s... :)
