In the name of equality and the fact I really like Colorado

You have fine taste Mr Mazzini, my Sprint is and always has been Colorado Orange. Very 1970's I always thought.

Any pictures of cars in Colorado would be appreciated. I've been think about painting my Elan and Colorado is on the list of favorites. Bob

My 1971 Elan sprint was registered as Colorado orange but has been re sprayed in what looks like am MG type orange.

Is it easy to get the correct paint?

Luckily it's more yellow than orange, there were some dreadful orange cars in the 70s!

Roman purple is a pretty rare colour on the Plus 2, and I don't think I've ever seen a Sprint in that, so you'll have to have another Plus 2. Colorado really suits the Plus 2, and I think it's my new favorite!

One more here in Canada, 1969 Elan S4, originally all white, but resprayed in Sprint colors even though not a Sprint, just because I like Colorado Orange! (let alone Colorado)
