So, Perry and I have touched base off line through emails.

There is one thing I'd like to point out, for all you black/green 356 owners. I spent my life thinking that black/green 356s are ugly. Dad has said so as long as I can remember. But, I never saw a black/green 356 myself until about 5-8 years ago, parked at Carmel-by-the-Sea during the Concours/Historics weekend. It was a 356A. And, I'm sorry to say to my dad, it was probably about the best looking 356 I've ever seen!

Now in defense of my dad, when he ordered his black/red 356, he was a young aerospace engineer who raced his Jaguar XK120. So, he wanted sporty/fast looking. At that age, I probably would have thought exactly the same - as I have always wanted a black/red MG TC. But, by the time I saw that black/green 356, I was a bit older, and perhaps appreciated things other than strictly racy looking. The black/green 356 has sort of a classic, rich look to it.

Obviously, Perry has indicated that the 356 is not for sale. That's ok - for now ;-)
My wife would kill me if another car showed up. I'm glad it is in good hands, with a loving family history of its own.
