Won't have my car but will let you know the date in October once it is firmed up. Will have my wife and some others with us so can't make it an all day thing. I will post a thread in the Regional sub when I know more about the agenda.

I'm late to the party, but I don't care for it. The reason British racing green works well on British sports cars is that British sports cars typically had a lot of chrome. They had chrome bumpers, chrome trim, chrome grilles, chrome strips, chrome wheels. When you have the chrome, it sets off very nicely against the BRG color on the body.
Our cars have none of that. Most cars these days have no or very little chrome on them compared to the '60s. The green just doesn't look right on today's cars without it. Build a classic style car (like a Morgan) with chrome, and it will look right again. A couple of years ago somebody here was photoshopping other colors on the 86 by request, and I requested BRG. It was a disappointment then in the mockup. It's a disappointment now in reality. |

The Lotus Exige Sport 350 looks spectacular in metallic green and there isn't any chrome visible anywhere on that car. |

Only green car I've owned was a '77 Honda Civic 4-door like this one. It also had a tan interior. Loved the way that car looked. (Mine had different wheels, a "nerf bar" on the front bumper, and wider rear tires, yea I know don't judge)

My dad had a white 74. That thing was so cool. I remember we came home from the beach and I left my shirt in the car. I went out side to grab my shirt and when I did it snagged the shifter and pulled it into neutral and down the driveway it went. Luckily our neighbor had a bush at the end of his driveway which stopped the car without damaging it. My dad ended up selling it to my neighbors lawn guy for $500. It had some rust issues which my dad fixed and then repainted so the car looked really good when he sold it. To this day he regrets selling that car. |

I wonder how well that seat color would pair with a red exterior.
