David,
I agree - and especially in the case of the "golden beige", which I
understand IS a "rare" color, there well COULD be some intent to increase
value thereby.
Personally, I think that "rarity" is entirely due to the fact that MGB is an
awful-looking shade, and I would NEVER paint my Healey that color - but THAT
is an entirely different issue! :-)
Of course, I am just a retiree on a limited budget. I'm lucky to still HAVE,
and be able to drive, my OEW car of 44 years, let alone deal in the
megabucks ventures recently described.
