Subject: Re: 1955 3 litre DHC for sale
I disagree with you, slightly. I did not opine as to the actual colour of this car - I was merely referring to the description given. By the way, 'Bristol red', whatever that may be, was neither a Lagonda nor Aston Martin standard hue IIRC.
As for the colour Amaranth Red (not a red at all, to my eye and that of others, but more of a dark metallic pink), it is actually a lighter colour than, say, Regal Red (which is a Rolls Royce hue). It is the original colour of one of my cars (as you know) and we are currently 'matching' some paint from (as it were) a generally inaccessible area. I happen to like it. :-)
