I am about to place an order for a new GTO 3R in Yellow but don't fancy waiting 4 or 5 months now I've driven one.Anyone know of one for sale in Yellow or Azure blue. I would also appreciate some pictures of one in yellow as I haven't seen one in the flesh or even a picture.

Thanks AMG MERC but I checked their website today and they don't now. By the way, I also own an AMG. C43 AMG, great car!

Dave,
I started a thread in March 'one for the summer in yellow' regarding a 2.5L M12 in Yellow that Williams have in Bristol. I believe they still have the car.
Therefore, order the new 3R & buy the Williams car. Then sell in the summer when the 3R is ready and when the GTC has pushed up residuals!!
Chris.

As also discussed in the same thread, a good dose of the clap is easier to shift than a yellow Noble

....As smooth as Mustard

Some cars sell in Yellow others dont, as the Williams car proves..... you wont catch my Boss buying one for stock

Lotus Norfolk Mustard (from where I also take my name ) is not selling as well as it once did on Elises.

Fair play. Norfolk Mustard. I always thought the mustard Lotus Esprit looked a cracker. IMO the best colour for an Esprit.

it does look the bizz

and does sell well on them, yellows a very funny colour, the shade has to be just right, and only suits certain cars

Mustard, YHM, the Noble in my opinion looks great in yellow, I hope you enjoys your new car as much as I enjoy my yellow Noble GTO3

We were pleased with our M12 GTO in yellow despite being a conservative couple usually. Does suit the car and stands out well!

Mind you our dark blue 3R looks a little more mature!

Interstingly the MV demonstrator sold "well" both times it's been up for sale (it seemed to go within a week or so this time around).

Not seen any other yellow ones up for sale mind you, and one example doesn't make a trend.

Thanks Martin but they don't appear to have anything I like at the moment.
