I plan to visit ERA on 20 October when I am in the New Britain area on business.
I'll look forward to seeing your Slabside.

Well my frame and body may be started by then. Progress (assuming there is) pictures would be greatly appreciated! |

Beautiful Andrew! That colour is perfect for a 289 roadster.
Cheers,

Thanks everyone -- I am definitely excited! Intercity said the next truck up to the northwest was mid-November so I'm hoping to see it in a month or so.

Andrew,
How long will it take from when you notified Intercity until you receive the car?

Not a clue. They said they'd call me a few days before pick up and I assume that they would be able to give me an ETA at that point. FWIW I made my booking on 10/23. |

Beautiful color combination, Andrew. That ice metallic blue (Princess Blue, I think) really shows off the curved lines of the AC body and the red interior sets it off perfectly. I did get to see John's ERA at Stowe also and BRG also looks quite nice on a slabside as well. Well done!

Looks great! It will turn heads when you go down the road. Nice colors. I do like a red interior.

I was really struck by the princess blue/red color combination, but I understand its not for everyone. I'm sure I'll hear a few "shoulda done a black interior" but that's OK by me. I am a bit concerned though that I might have chosen a red leather that is too bright. ERA offered a great selection of swatches and now I feel like I should have chosen a darker version. I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it, but as of now that is a future me dilemma.

No, leave it alone! I love the combination and I think it's perfect.

Go with your gut and first impulse. There were color choices for 289s which made for such a classy combination. I think the red gives it style

Love the red interior! Great combination with your body color. I saw an original Princess Blue over red 289 rebuilt by David Wagner at The Cobra Experience in Martinez, CA and it was stunning. Not sure if it’s the same 2242 car that is your inspiration, but it was beautiful.
