Saw a 95LH Monaco Red FTO on the Dublin Road in Naas this afternoon (around 2.30-ish)
Lovely colour in the flesh, looked to be on 17's as well.

We've actually always called that colour Imperial Red on this and UK forum. Dave had this colour FTO and allways called it imperial red.

Never actually seen the other Red in the flesh.

Though we have listed the Monaco Red on the buying guide - http://www.fto-ireland.com/buyingguide.html

Confused? - I am! :smt017

Its lies, lies I tell you! Must remove that ref, the FTO was never produced in that colour - I remember looking it up in the updated version of CAPS some time ago....

exactly - Burgundy!

there..

If it's not in caps as burgundy something is clearly wrong..

Ah when you said burgundy I thought of burberry for some reason. Was thinking not a very nice colour for a car, especially an FTO.

Agreed.

Hmm, those green alloy yokes would go well with that. Really set it off. Almost as attractive as the pink convertible micra Hamster had to drive in Top Gear.
