Well, that's a decision yet to be made. The original car ex-factory was White (Cameo Ivory. Colour code C), then it was painted Ferrari Red before I bought it 40 years ago.
I'm not keen on the red but I'm sort of bound by my long ago choice of the red leather interior. So what colour do you suggest? Comments are very welcome.
The way I see it, if I want to stay close to the original colour palette, I can go Black (not keen), Montero Red, Burgundy, Light Gold, or White (again). Not keen on White either.
Toyota had a really deep Burgundy Red colour about 25 years ago which I like a lot
I also like the Modern metallic bronze colours with a minimum of gold fleck. I keep looking at a colour on late model KIA cars here, also Nissan and Honda have a metallic bronze colour I like
Another option is a dark metallic silver. Not too dark though.
The car will have a BLACK top. Already bought it.
