Car Colour Choice

[robb4100]

Just another two cents worth but I believe a very large number of the cars were shipped in primer. I was doing some research to determine the original color of my car (built from three others) and the lotus contact gave me a color code for the car(s). I recall that they were all the same. I then contacted the second owner of the chassis who had been told by the original owner that it was shipped with just the primer. This may have been a US phenomenon.

I will search my records this weekend and see if I can find the notes.

The invariable rule is that whatever colour your car happens to be it becomes an unpopular colour when you try to sell it. It was popular last year! but not this year, and the buyer will have to offer you less.
The moral of this tale is paint it the colour YOU like dont worry about hyperthetical future values.
