these arent all g40 colours tho are they? i thought it was...
black
tornado red
alpine white
capri green
royal blue
pearl grey
they are both correct!
i'll dig out my early and late manuals sometime for a definitive list!
The colours went on the special edition genesis models. I've got Alpine white on mine.

???
the only colour for genesis g40s was purple!
in Portugal there a few metallic black g40 genesis.
maybe they were some limited edition or specific colors to some countries.
might be being really dumb but what is a g40 genesis?!

I assume this is a conversion and not a genuine g40 then? Proper Genesis G40s were in purple only and there is only 1 or maybe 2 in existence in right hand drive.
Genesis model normal polos were just a trim level and fairly common and in various colours.
the reason behind them was to Promote the Phil Collins band Gensis on tour
they had special sound systems in them too.
only the g40 ones, non-g40 genesis models weren't anything special, practically the same as CL spec weren't they?
anyway, we are getting off topic here!
according to my brochures the following you can get...
1991 -
black
tornado red
alpine white
capri green metallic
royal blue metallic
pearl grey metallic
1994 -
black
alpine white
tornado red
windsor blue metallic
montana green metallic
brilliant black metallic
pearl grey metallic
however i have seen an L reg maritime blue (which was a lower model colour) and have heard of an indian red metallic one, then theres the purple G40 Genesis colour. Plus on the continent they had a greater colour range.

mine just a standard AAv engine'd coupe but gonna convert soon just need to get the block and charger and couple of other stuff but waiting a bit before I'm converting as may put in another engine.
nice! i did look it up on google and guess it was that they were purple lol
There's one in Worcs somewhere, a mate of a mate owns it. Think it may be LHD, but not sure! It's also for sale If I remember right.
probably the one Beavis from Pitstop imported. A lad called Jody had it for a while, possibly still does. That was around Worcs, turned up at BVF a couple of years. Reg ends "BOM" if I remember correctly.
