Brit buyers back in black

Black is back. It's rising in popularity, while current top choice silver is in decline, new car registration figures show

30th April 2007

There were 522,000 black cars sold in 2006, which makes it Britain's second favourite colour - in 2005 it was placed third. Silver is still number one, but the volume of models registered in this colour fell by 55,000 over the previous year to 671,000.

Spanish giant SEAT has responded to the trend by releasing a new black-only model. The £18,995 Toledo Sport comes with a bodykit, 18-inch BBS alloys and 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine mated to a DSG sequential box. And the dark finish will help the newcomer's second-hand value, too - the colour boosts residuals by as much as £500, according to the experts at EurotaxGlass's.
