I'm sure if we catch Reeb's in a good mood, he'll tell us what colour the car left the factory with!

Be interesting to know whether it's a black car that's been painted white, or vice versa!

Thanks for that. Just shows you're never to old to learn.

Can't get my head round why you would do it to look like that, but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

Quite agree, it would be interesting to know how it was originally.

Regards

Paul

Could have been done to hide either accident or vandal damage!

Most likely that they thought an all black car was a but oppressive for weddings?

Boot rack is the wrong way round!

My thoughts too, I always thought that two-tone cars should have the darker side at the bottom, but many/most of the duotones had the darker side at the top.

I thought it was only me looked at it like that. To my mind the darker colour as the upper makes the car look "top heavy" Certainly on the tourers but hey each to his own.

Have to say i'd rather have/see a duotone 75 than a Vauxhall/Ford or pretty much else.
