    Mine is blue, but as vnx205 says, when you buy second hand, it is pretty much the luck of the draw what colour you end up with. White is by far the most practical colour - cooler and safer, and I would have preferred white, but at least the roof is white.

    White.

    Thinking of removing the defender stripes/decals for a total white look.

    High visibility, both types of cool and no choice.

    Red - I think they call it Tanami. Didn't have much of a choice YELLOW, BLACK or RED.

    Ocean Blue. Bought used so limited choice. However, we do like it as we have not seen many Td5 Defenders this colour.

    By coincidence, the Disco it replaced was also blue.

    We bought second hand, and ours is white.

    Missus loves black and so do I but white is so much easier to look after.

    But I do like the Monte Carlo Blue thats on reads90, if we were to respray that would be on the top of my list before black .

    I wanted a dark colour body as I already had a white 130, but I didn't want a dark roof because of the heat factor, so I ordered my 110 in dark green with the classic (I think) white roof look.

    I got the windows tinted by the dealer, and it has proved to be as cool as an all white version.

    Mine was originally camo or olive drab. I changed it to Zambezi silver because it was a different colour to white and it was nearly as cool as white. People love the colour. I looks good I think.

    However, my first choice now would be flat camo or olive drab - original and flat paint is easy to patch.

    My second choice would be white as cool and easy to match with second hand bits. Also, highly visible.

    I rubbed mine until it turned blue.

    It's true, it's true.

    You can see where it used to be white on the bonnet.
