Original Color verses New Color

For you eagle eye folks, you may have noticed that my car's "birth certificate" said it left the factory painted "Maple".  Obviously the car is now painted red, so I thought I'd post a picture of a TR6 in the original Maple Brown color.

This photo was one I snagged off eBay of a TR6 that was for sale, for you to see what Maple Brown really looked like...you don't see many Sixes still painted this color.  Yeah I know, it's looks a bit like shiny mud !

Wife Rhoda and I are still debating what color to use when it comes time to paint our Six.  For a while I thought the original color of Mallard Blue was going to be our new color, but now I'm not so sure.  I have seen a couple of Sixes painted black, and even though black was not offered as an option on the TR6, it does look pretty nice!
Here is a car in the Mallard Blue color...

Here is one in black...
Well, it's not like we need to make a decision any time soon, but it's fun to think about !!
