Hear, hear!

If you're not planning on entering it in concours competition, why 
the heck not?

I'm considering a nice blue for my car; I've corresponded a bit with 
a gentleman in Australia over this car:
http://www.tr-register.com.au/Files/allan_bare_tr3.htm
and it turns out it's a Ford color:

Another one I like a lot is the deep, dark blue used on Ford Tauruses 
(Taurii?) in the late '90s ... I know, I know, it's a d*mn Ford 
station wagon, but it's a heck of a nice color ... maybe it's even 
the same color as Allan's TR3.

So ... you're not the only one considering this!  Let not 
unoriginality deter you!

Best,
Dan
