Well I have to say that the two best colours are Calypso Red and Mauritius Blue, no doubt about it.
It not a real motorsport, but an as identical 325 replica. It has been sprayed sometime in the past, but needs to be sorted to be mint, and summer is comming, so I was toying with going with a diferent color. I was thinking met black ? any pics available ?

If not, calypso red might just get my vote.

Stevetigger is talking rubbish. Why spray your car a boring grey?
A fresh, shiny brilliant red will be awesome. I would bet a substantial amount of money that in the summer a brilliant red car polished up will turn more heads than any other colour. Especially if it's a cab
Though the original colour is nice too. I dunno

Calypso Red or Mauritius Blue,
You get some nice shades/contrasts of blue through the metallics when the sun hits it. I think Calypso Red has the same extent of contrasts.

Almost looks like 2 different colours when in and out of the sun.
