Well!

When I was 10 years old in 1965, I bought a Road & Track magazine, it had a silver 427 road going AC Cobra pictured by a field of golden coloured grain, this reflected off the silver and what a magic colour!!

In the flesh unless its an alloy body version I dont like them in silver, and I am not going to park by a field of grain to get the desired contrast, plus light colours make them look bigger - in my opinion!

My first Cobra was painted in guardsman blue with white stripes, the second in Gulf oil company colours of light duck egg blue with an orange stripe(s), now those cars are gone, this car may be dark BRG with no stripes. I have considered the Bullit Mustang colour of Steve McQueen I think its Highland Green I have it somewhere. But this is still a major decision to make and I dont really like green that much, but I want the car to look conservative on the track and fix up a few of the stripey racers.

Another nice colour is the blue of the Gumball Rally Cobra, I must get the video and watch it!

Are you more confused now, because I am!!!!!!!!
