Hi guys,

It is very interesting, to read all the messages. I agree with Howard, that everyone of us has his own opinion. I guess, if you are building the car for your own, and don't have the intention to sell it later, you can go the way of some exotic colours.
If you ever are in the situation that you have to sell the car, the "wrong" mean exotic colour could be a reason for a much lower price. But this is only one side of the medal. So J please go on and listen to your heart/inner voice !

PS: Guys, does anybody of you know something about the original colour code of the "Scuderia Filipinetti" red (car Nr. 1039 and 1040) driven at Le Mans in 1966 ? I would like to paint my car in this colour ?

Kind regards from Switzerland Marcel.
