Swaping my V6 for an SVR. Ultra Blue or British Racing Green?
I'm in the amazing position to swap my V6S for an SVR. I have narrowed it down to 2 models. They are the same price, similar milage + options. The only difference is the color, one is Ultra Blue (seems a lot of SVRs are this color) and the other is British Racing Green.

Ultra Blue is very nice but BRG is rare and special. What interior does the BRG have?
UB was my top choice when I was looking for mine but ended up with Santorini Black because mine had the full red leather interior (and Black/Red is a dream spec for me). UB cars seem to always come spec’d with the Alcantara interior so make sure that is something you’re ok with. Also I’d recommend seeing it in person if you haven’t already, it’s a little less vibrant than a lot of pictures suggest.
Now if that BRG had a tan interior…

I have the BRG with tan. While I love the color and the way it looks different in different lights, I will say it shows dirt very quickly.
Unlike my crimson Jeep and my grey Audi, the Jag looks like it needs washing every week. It is a dust magnet and any puddle splashes look terrible.
So, while I would never change to the EB, it might well show better after a few days of driving
Of course the biggest downside to the EB is it is cop magnet.

My answer is in my signature.
The funny thing is I actually wanted a white car. I looked for a year for white. Could not find one with the options I wanted.
Then I saw the one I ended up purchasing on-line. Problem was whoever photographed it for the ad did a lousy job. The pictures made it look like the color of blue chalk. I just could not bring myself to spend the money with a color that looked like that. Then I saw some forum posts of an Ultra Blue car that was photographed correctly. I ended up going with the Ultra Blue in the end. No regrets. I get lots of compliments on the color.

I'd vote Ultra Blue, as well. It's a loud car; it begs a loud color.
totally agree with this. get the one that fits you best.
