10 more green cars sitting on a blog

Back in September, I posted ten images on PetrolBlog with the aim of proving to a 'Prominent PR Person' that green cars rock. Sadly, I failed in my attempt, but through the power of Twitter I did discover that the love of green cars runs quite deep within petrolhead circles. So much so that the #greencarsrock hash tag often makes an appearance should a rather lovely green car appear on the high street.

Well I thought it was about time to compile another list. Here are the best ten from today. Image credits at the end.

Metro 6R4 - @jonbradbury

The Metro is perhaps an unlikely entry. But not when it is the legendary 6R4. Superb!

Volkswagen Polo MK1 - @robgt2

Modified perhaps, but a mint Polo all the same.

Ford Escort Mk1 - @jonbradbury

Old-school classic Ford.

Lancia Stratos - @Carfolio

Let's face it, the Stratos would look good even if it was painted in Dulux magnolia. But in green, it simply oozes appeal.

Land Rover 90 / 110 / Defender - @MajorGav

A slightly biased view perhaps, but Land Rovers look best in green!

Ford Capri 280 - @robgt2

The ultimate incarnation of the MkIII Capri and the ultimate colour. My old tail happy companion!

Jaguar XJS TWR - @robgt2

Stunning. This one will appeal to @RalphHosier

Ford Cortina MKIII - @jonbradbury

Ignore the dodgy alloys, this Cortina works for me.

Austin Allegro - @OneCarefulOwner

You can make up your own minds on this one!

Jaguar XJ12C - @Dogknob1

As driven by Steed in the New Avengers. One of the ultimate TV cars



Thanks for all the suggestions. There are enough suggestions left over to start compiling a third instalment, so keep using the #greencarsrock hash tag on Twitter!
