ive come around to preferring darker colors on older cars. - damask red and old english white roof, black leather trimmed with cream piping.... here's an elf:



the roof in this case is "whitehall gray", not OEW.

thanks they look smashin ive yet to see a tweed grey mini in fermanagh which is also good .just wondering now weither to go with white or black roof which would match my 10x4.5 silver minilifes better?

once you go black, you never go back.... seriously though; the gray is quite light, and white might look a little pale against it. black. has to be.
