[Merv and Sharon]

Yes silver (or at least a dark silver/grey) was my other consideration. I decided on the full black bit - no side pipes, minimal chrome, black roll bars and vents and "old English" dark green leather seats, etc. I have had 5 open sports cars of different colours and they all get hot in QLD day weather and influence when you drive them and when you use a hood or tonneau. Black cars need lots of care in keeping them clean and they do mark more. Dark blues and greens have many of the same problems. I am just 'over' metallic colours at this stage.
