it supposedly the most desired colour, thats all! and only appeared on big bumper GTI's and small bumper anniversary models

there are rarer colours than oak green

anyhow Tornado Red is the new Oak Green!!

alot of people just like it (me included) and seem to make out that its some rare as hell colour but you see them all the time. i'm not saying they are as common as black or red or whatever but there are alot of them around.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post

they appeared on F plated 16vs. (non Campaigns). it was on the option list.

agreed that it isnt the rare colour now.

i'd say the torquoise blur was more rare actually ;)

You talking about Metallic Royal Blue, ummmmm, nice colour  :cool:

Oak Green is nice, i suppose, but I have to agree with others that it's not that rare. :rolleyes:

It's all down to personal taste in the end, I think mk2's look most modern in a dark metallic colour and I obviously like oak green. I was also looking for a mk2 in bright blue metallic (can't remember the paintcode but I read somewhere that only 500 came into this country) but I came to the conclusion that there weren't any 16v's made in that colour (you see a few G60's in it) so I would say that colour is pretty rare.
Then you've got stuff like calypso green (or was it capri green) and a couple of other shades of metallic blue which I can't remember the name of. You see far less cars in these colours but then that's probably coz they just weren't popular colours so nobody ordered that paintcode.

The oak green thing is a bit wierd really as the most popular colour for the mk1 was lhasa green which was quite similar.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

It's just a nice classy colour that suits a standard Golf down to the ground. I always see them with the 15" RAs on and they always look the absolute b*ll*cks.

As said they aint particularly rare but they are sought after which keeps the price a tad higher than the rest.
