I really struggled to sell my 91K mile Coupe in early 2020. :(

Good luck anyway. :thumbsup:
Looks like it was a lovely example!

This is lovely, and pretty much exactly as mine was when I purchased it.
Same wheels, colour and trim combo, exhaust and around the same miles.
It even has the same lip spoiler. Spooky.

I need to get my head around these blues... early days of E86 ownership but I am already thinking about whether to upgrade to a lower mileage car which is as close to perfect as possible... and that might be a blue... I need to see some more in person to work out which I really prefer.. Estoril, Interlagos, Montego, LeMans and Monaco seem to be some of the main blue E86s and I think I've lifted them in order of lightest and brightest to darkest. The darker ones look great and classy, but there's something about the lighter and brighter ones.

I don't think Estoril or Le Mans were ever an option on E85/86s, but I loved my Montego Blue Coupe. :D

Interlagos Blue was only available on the Ms, but facelifts also had the options of Monaco and Night Blue which are both quite dark. Carbon Black also looks blue in the right light just to confuse things!

[Re-googles and realizes the Estoril Z4s were later.]

If that's all correct then I need a Montego! [Long term, will have to be the right car, reasonably low miles, nice interior, great service history]

Part of the problem of course is how different the same colour looks from one photo to the next, which means getting my backside out there and looking in person.

FWIW Montego Blue looks much the same in the flesh as in Lee's photos. It was also one of the more popular colours which makes life a bit easier!
