I think that BGR with a Tan interior and Top (Hood-- to be British)
is a great color combination. The most important thing should be
what color(s) that you like the most for a small red car. Mine is red
with a black interior and no the colors are not original. You should
paint the engine compartment and the trunk (boot) interior, etc to do
a first class job.
Now for the net.. does any body have what the factory colors were each
year of production. I think that would be a great item to have on
the WEB page. I know that in the other classic car clubs etc you
can find the paint chips and interiors for you car to be as factory
original as possable. So who out there in net-land has the sales
lit for SunBeams that could be scanned (in color) and send to T.J.
for the WEB page.
Just my ramblings,, to many gas fumes from the old CD150's.
