Same here, wish I could but no space. Tax man just helped my budget, now I can
affort a paint job. In fact this is exactly what I was looking for last year
and sounds similar to what I picked up for the same price, but French Blue with
OD and hardtop. Yellow was my no 1 choice as I used to own an Inca Yellow
Triumph in the UK and had great memories of that car more than any other
colour. Also a pre 75 in Oregon is exempt from emissions. My 76 is not .
