Favorite 02 color

[Russell74Fjord]

FJORD !

 

OMG best color ever!, 

 

Actually  I like most of the colors, my least favorite Malaga, far too many of the later cars were this color along with that beige/tan interior. YUCK,

See you there.

If you're in the village Friday afternoon, I usually try to park the 1600 on 7th street just past the old Ford dealership.  After that I leave the village at about 5:30 and head up the old track to my sister's house which is on the original course at the s turns at the top of the hill to watch from there.  Fun Times!

Paint. It. BLACK.

As my wife said to me one day “I saw a really cute 2002 today but it wasn’t orange (INKA)”

I love Arktisblau and the fact that I very rarely ever see it.

I like most colors but Chamonix Colorado Turkis Derby Golf Inka.

I'm okay with non factory colors also. Audi Glut Orange.

PO painted it that color couldn't find Inka or something.

I like most of the 2002 palette.  Very bright and refreshing compared to most cars today!  I am convinced that Audi has their colors chosen by funeral directors.  Let me put in a vote for Atlantik!

Headliner went in this week.  Starting to re-assemble today!

Color doesn’t matter once you’re behind the wheel ?

Atlantik. Rare and beautiful!

 

It’s looking great, David!

 

I believe the three photos below came from Lars. Apologies to the source if it wasn’t Lars! It’s a factory white leather interior — yes, it appears in the parts catalogue — in an Atlantik ‘73 2002A. It’s Euro, of course!

 

I have some sort of a Jones for dark blue cars. But I like it with lighter interiors. Just saying…

 

Best regards,

This topic may actually be an interesting addition to the registry.  
 

Steve, would it be possible to somehow query the registry for models and colors by year to come up with a count of color quantities per model?  I know there have been lots of thread topics over the years since BMW did not track color quantities.  
 

I realize it would only pertain to cars in the registry however as a percentage of cars the numbers might be indicative.  It might also serve to bring more people into the registry if they knew you were tracking that sort of data.  Of course it’s only as good as the data entry.  So there might be some challenges there.

 

Just a thought.  Love this thread.  Of course my battleship grey weighs high on my personal fav.

Bristol, Jeff?

 

Alas, there’s simply too few Archives-documented colors in the Registry to provide meaningful, rather than misleading, conclusions.

 

But that’s why we’re trying to build up the Registry, and get owners to request their cars’ data from Archives — and, yes, Archives is closed until the end of 2021 for moving/reorganization, making the process even more challenging. But, yes, I agree with you: if we had more in the Registry, we could start opining on the popularity, or at least the survivability, of the various colors!

 

Thanks and best regards,

 

Steve

Yes, Steve, my car is an original 1969 Bristol 2002 I purchased from the original owner as a barn find.  At least that was the condition when I got it having had sit for many years in his backyard.  Interestingly enough the dealer invoice he gave me with the paperwork from 1969 simply stated it as Grey.  I guess times were simpler back then.  I agree with you about the registry comments, I hope we can get more adoption over time.

I wonder how many original Bristol 2002's are on this site since its mainly an older color.  Here is my 1970 with November 1969 build date. and I defeinitly love the old pastel colors.
