Well, if we're going non-original _and_ non British, Porsche made a gorgeous
light blue called "ice blue." It's the lightest blue I've ever seen and it
was on a convertible 911 with a biscuit interior and top, sometime around '83,
'84. Beeyootiful! But then I do have "girl" tastes. And I hate the Three
Stooges.
