Did they paint 10 Malaga cars for every one

[AndyS]

of a different color? Sure seems like it, lol!

think it was 20. of the 4 02's i have had in last year, three were originally malaga. and i was NOT looking for malaga cars...

[Jim_75Sahara]

When I was looking to buy an '02 back in 2003, they were all Malaga or Sahara. I've never seen any for sale in the midwest that were Inka, Colorado, Pastelblau, Jadegrun, or Siennabraun, for example.

And here I sit with a Sahara car and a Fjord car that was originally Malaga (can only tell from in the tranny tunnel though). I'm thinking you're right, most of them are (especially roundies)

[bueller]

if i found the perfect car besides it being sahara, i'd probably keep looking for something else. just my opinion. but so many are sahara and malaga! my wife and i say "no 02s that look like my skin" and i say no aggie color.

sic 'em!

Maroon must have been a popular color back in the 70's. I've owned two Malaga 02s, a '71 and a '73 Tii. It's one of my favorite colors on an 02, Agave comes in second.

I agree, I think most everyone who has owned a 2002 owned a sahara or malaga car at one point.

I owned a '75 malaga for a few years as well. Nice car!

There is a '73 Turkis not far from here, BUT it was orig. SAHARA.

--- And Karl's former car, a 1600-2 from Calif. -- sports a maizegelb paintjob which was orig. SAHARA.

I think it was regional-

Jenn's car started out as actual white (purple now)

and we also have a golf, an atlantik, and some version of dark green (never knew that that was called)

I've had one sahara, one malagagaga, 2 other atlantiks, another white,

that metallic lighter blue... and a couple others that I forget.

So no, around here, we got a bunch of different colors.

I wonder if it's just the type of personality that got those colors preserved them better?

I've had 3 in Malaga; two 1974's and a '73tii; '74 in Atantik blue and another in Chamonix, '70 in Granada red, '71 in Colorado and a '76 in Siennabraun

From my memory of 2002 test drives in the midwest during the mid-70's, polaris, fjordblau, sienabraun, agave, and chamonix seemed like the choices. I was so close to a polaris with blue interior.

[Guest]

Over here it's Agave, I've got one as to two of my friends and I've seen 3 others between corvallis and eugene. I've seen/know of more agave's local to me than the rest of the colors combined...but I love the color and it's nice to have the best looking one

[BigDog]

That's OK they all get repainted INKA when people restore them. ha ha.

In Socal in the 70's as I recall it was predominantly Chamonix, Sahara, Malaga, Fjord and perhaps Agave with a few Siennabraun. I have owned Chamonix, Malaga and now Manila. With coupes it is always Fjord and Polaris followed by Nachtblau and Malaga it seems.
