Ray Gibbons" <gibbons@northpole.med.uvm.edu>; Date: Mon, 16 Jan 1995 18:17:02 -0500 (EST); Gus, Do you have reason to believe the paint is original? If so, try your local auto paint stores; many of them should have color info back to 71, and should be able to mix you a quart. Take the car; /html/british-cars/1995-01/msg00457.html (8,057 bytes)

Hope others agree, because I am learning all kinds of stuff--now if I just believed all of it. It is a case of the halt leading the lame, perhaps.
