Gold Cars
Gold cars are almost as rare as the precious metal itself - and the best gold cars are even more scarce as the colour has now fallen out of favour.
That said, there are different shades of gold to choose from, ranging from visually striking hues that will easily attract attention, to more subtle colours that people will pass by without batting an eyelid.
Compared to white, black and blue cars, gold vehicles are sold in much smaller numbers and fewer car manufacturers offer it as a colour. Those that offer gold paint tend to be more upmarket brands, which typically sell fewer cars.
This makes sense as less expensive cars need to be sold in huge numbers to make a healthy profit, so a manufacturer painting many of its cars in a colour that fewer people typically want would be a risky plan. In line with this, our favourite gold cars include models from BMW, Volkswagen and Volvo.
The good news for those on tighter budgets is that there are still gold cars for you and if you are willing to widen your search to yellow, beige or orange cars then there are even more options to choose from.
Most gold cars come with metallic gold paint, which has little flecks of metal in the paint so it sparkles when light hits it. Metallic paint doesn’t require any special cleaning products to look after - just your classic combination of sponge, bucket and hosepipe. Or of course, you can take it to the local car wash if you'd rather someone else do the job for you.
