We have recently bought a matching numbers 914/6 and it needs some restoration work including a bare metal re-spray. It is (original) Alaska [edit: should have said Adriatic blue] Blue and we are not keen on that colour. Our favourite colour is Signal Orange.
We will be keeping the car once restored and driving it and showing it, for the foreseeable. We would be interested to hear views on the effect on value in changing the colour. Thanks Kate/Brian |
