I however do think that the Limey Green is a nice colour, and the car will be beautiful with it. So for our edification please tell us?


"ORIGINALITY IS EVERYTHING" and there in lies the envy. In the world of collecting, OWNERSHIP IS EVERYTHING. Anything else is just spectating. Enjoy what you collect and ignore the kibitzers.


My guess is the color was selected in remembrance of an old girlfriend.
Am I close? That's what we really want to know.....lol
