Default Colour change complete........

best decision I ever made

Thought long and hard but this car as some will remember was white, now Trophy blue

It's a keeper so value means nothing to me

Needs to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated, changes with the light

It looks gorgeous! Sometimes it's not about the "numbers" it's about what you want and like. Enjoy.

Awesome looking car....great choice.

Mine was born white....faded to silver 20 years ago by previous owner. Bought it that way and color change hit never crossed my mind....bought it to enjoy and drive. A keeper for me also.

Looks wonderful! The color on the outside matters a lot more than the numbers on the trim tag....
