Good question, Roger. Guess no one likes Cotswold Blue, Silverstone Grey,
Geranium, Apple Green, Beige....
According to statistics, of the well over 80,000 TR2-3 models produced,
approximately 127,000 of them were finished in Signal Red, with chrome
wire wheels, overdrive and occasional rear seat! ;-)
Anyway, I have seen pictures in books of TRs in colors besides red, and
there have been one or two VTR magazine covers of non-red TRs as well.
BTW, is green the orginal color for your car, or are you painting over red?
