What colour ?

We went down for the last visit before our wonderful car goes off to the painters, although we do not have to decide now what colour we want Glen did kindly have a few reference books and colour cards for us to look at.

Well Red is a complete no no !!
It is amazing how different Red can look on different cars, Ferrari yes, but not for us.

We then travelled through all the light blues and greens, choosing bags and shoes are so easy compared to choosing a colour for a vintage car, then to make thing even more difficult we need to make sure we compliment the interior leather.
