Alright, enough of this! Everybody knows that black cars with scarlet interiors
/ black piping looks great. However, I did see at the Detroit TE / AE national
a YELLOW Series II (yellow was never offered) with a RED interior! No kidding
folks! Sorry to the owner if he's reading this, but YIKES! I must admit it did
stand out from the crowd (which was slowing backing away.....)
Anyway Mr. Gibbons, I checked the sales literature last night and here's what
Sunbeam offered for Series V colour combos:
Carnival Red with black interior
Midnight Blue with black interior
Arctic White with black interior
British Racing Green with (guess what?) black interior!
Jet Black with black interior (Stealth bomber)
Mediterranean blue with (drum roll please ) black interior!
I guess Rootes got bored with colour combos towards the end. The only saving
grace is that you could get piping that matched the exterior colour. However,
we have a mystery, because illustrated in two different areas on the brochure is
a RED interior. Hmmmm......
