dougbgt6 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Who are these purists? Do we have any lurking here? I like original, but I'm not obsessive. I'm with Clive, do what you want. Mimosa's a nice colour Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can make thecar look a bit odd. Not like the original white, Pete? Metallics can be nice too, there used to be a bright orange Herald 13/60, in some modern metallic or other, displayed at Stafford. It was superb, as was a very nice dark metallic red Spitfire. (and while looking for that one I found a Herald in metallic red too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTV8 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 My first 13/60 was Valencia with a tan interior... personally I prefer a black interior (light interiors always show marks at some point) but each to their own. .......Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 That Orange is phenomenal . Reminds me of a Ford Capri we had in the 70's. I am not looking for too outlandish, but I have never been a great fan of white or black for that matter. They both have a tendency to show road dirt more quickly in my opinion. Fabulous when first cleaned, but hard to keep like that in service. Had a gorgeous White Ford Granada (Ghia X pack ) circa 1986 The whole 9 yards. But it needed cleaning twice weekly in winter, which was not easy when doing up to 75k miles per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so boring you don't notice the dirt, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 My last 3 moderns have been silver, cleaned them once a year, whether they needed it or not. My Triumph is yellow, an insect magnet! Everything has a downside. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I'm going to stand up for the Valencia Paint & Tan Trim option Here's a photo of the interior of my old TR, I think it looks great?🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think mine was either Grey or Black. The Interior was Full, Grey Leather. I like the TR. But the Vitesse (2nd Pic) is a bit too dark for what I am Looking For.
