Colour choice???

Post by coopertim »

Hi all

I need to make a choice as to which colour to paint my shell. It is an October '64' car and is currently Tweed Grey. As originality is not an issue, i need to choose between Surf Blue, Fiesta Yellow or the original Tweed Grey. Im leaning towards Surf but cant decide!!! If its anything other than Tweed, I will have a Cooper Grey/Grey interior for sale!!!

What are your thoughts???? :?:

Scott, no its not the 1071....I had to let that one go due to not having enough money in my world to restore it!!!!

Pete, no you're not confused, I still have the Tweed 850 but I want it to be a different colour and I am torn between Surf or Fiesta with an 1100 or 1300 lump in it!!

Of the three in order of preference:

Tweed Grey, Surf Blue, Fiesta Yellow.

With Tweed being way ahead of the other 2.

My first was Surf Blue

My second is Island Blue.

I prefer Tweed Grey to the above.
