Don't have the exact info handy, but aside from the Signal Red, there
was a "BRG," dark and light blues, white, black and yellow. Interior
choices were red, blue and black.

Since you asked, my personal preference (coupled with a red interior and
white top/tonneau/etc.) would be black. Mk.2s look stunning in that
combination. There were not that many of them when new, and there seem
to be proportionally even fewer now.
