Hi Curt,
If you have no intention of selling your car, what difference does it make
what the value is to someone else? Anyway, if you want an idea of what it
would look like you can see pics of my car at
http://kinderlehrer.home.mindspring.com/triumph.htm It's actually a metalic
black, (Acura color) but the mica chips make it look like dark blue in the
right light. It would be the wrong color if my goal was to win concours
events, but then the chrome wire wheels would have to go also. It does,
however, win the hearts of my peers, and no one has chided me for my lapses
from originality.
Bob
