And was the slabside possibly already grey?

That's what Superformance calls one of their models.

I'm with Ned, I prefer "MK II Roadster" vs the overused term "slabside".

Me too.
I'm not aware that AC ever referred to the Mk II as a "slabside".
I note, however, that even ERA (as well as Superformance) call their version of the Mk II Roadster a "slabside"
It's a far better looking car than that term infers...

Cheers!

For what it's worth, I always referred to the MK II as a 289 Cobra. My own love for the 427 led to my ultimate purchase and build of ERA 718 which I do not regret at all after sixteen years (I actually drove it for an hour today in chilly New England). Not too many guys can own an original these days, unless they bought it some years ago. Prices have gone beyond what anyone would have ever predicted. The word 'slabside' to me is just slang.
