Silver is ‘top car colour’
Silver was the most popular colour for used cars during the first three months of 2009, it has been revealed.
Figures released by British Car Auctions show that almost a quarter (24.8 per cent) of cars sold during this period were silver.
A further 21 per cent were blue, while black vehicles accounted for 17.8 per cent of sales.
Grey was the next most popular colour, followed by red, white and green.
BCA spokesman Tim Naylor said despite the wide range of colours being offered by manufacturers, motorists are still quite conservative in their choices.
"The worry is that they can just as quickly become deeply unfashionable. In the same way, limited editions with over fussy colour schemes tend to date quickly," he added.
Meanwhile, BCA revealed last month that demand for prestige cars is on the increase, with Aston Martins, Audis and Bentleys all achieving good prices at auction throughout June.
