It's an "A" class in Elbaite Green. Quite a few on MB used car site.

Great colour, never seen one before. Wonder why so many up for sale second hand?

How often do you see a Green car on the road ??

Very rarely, my father always maintained they were unlucky.

Unfortunately, he was proven correct when my green SEAT was twice side-swiped at roundabouts, the other drivers both said they didn't see me!!!

Unusual colour that's for sure. Only ever seen 1 and it hangs around MB Blackpool. Personally I like it. For some reason green was always seen as unlucky as a car colour - certainly my mate wont buy a green car cos he can never sell them, so the stigma still hangs around today. Could be that its invisible on the road as some colours seem to be.

I had a British Racing Green company car once, I hated it and it was stolen 3 times.

Once it went on a Friday night from outside my house and I never noticed until Monday morning, another time it went AWOL for 2 weeks and I drove past where it had been abandoned every day and never saw it. I think that I hated it so much that I had blocked it from my mind.

On the plus side the first time it was stolen some kids drove it down a river which failed to stop the rotten thing which I did have a grudging respect for.

I have a (very dark) green S210, which was preceded by a dark green E34 5 Series Touring. Not a fixation with green cars, just found two good ones (10 years and 5 years ownership) that happened to be green.

Nothing wrong with a green car as far as I'm concerned - though that bright A class maybe a little too much

I had a 1998 A3 1.8 T in Cactus green, looked absolutely stunning when clean in the sunshine (twice for 2 mins in 7 years!)

I like that. I like green. Rare colour. Had a dark green vec b gsi v6 way back that was a lovely colour.

Erm, see left (or above on a tablet it would seem) I see a green car quite frequently...


Oldguy, is the one you see in Blackpool Designo Electric Green? I'm told someone in the entertainment business up there has a larger Merc in the same shade as mine.

Green cars seem to fetch less ? I have had 3 green car's M3 & a Dolomite sprint , both were hard to sell? 1st green car was a P5 V8 Rover coupe, British racing green with a Silver birch roof, the phone rang off the hook for that one. I remember back in 1972 a friend had a Tr5is which was British racing green & it was considered a huge bonus back then. Maybe they were considered unlucky in green because most of the racing/sports cars were B/green & used to crash Lol

Same applies to boats. Big superstition still persists about owning a green boat.

Had a green Rover 800, quite rare as said before believed to be unlucky, wasn't for me though.
