<DIV>I’m glad someone else likes the color (86) too. There are blues (I believe
60’s-70’s Renaults), VW used a burnt orange not to long ago that seem to fall
into a similar, slightly altered from the norm appearance as 86. To each their
own for preference though I doubt 86 was a failed attempt by Rootes to replicate
BRG. I’m thinking either they were trying to be different..., or they got a
great deal on the color.</DIV>

<DIV>Regarding my comment about NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)
because of the way old school TV worked it was often joking referred to as
“Never Twice (<FONT size=2>the</FONT>) Same Color.</DIV>

agree Jay.
<DIV>Both cars are identical Dupont acrylic lacquer</DIV>
<DIV>replacement 86 from 1979-1992 (I sprayed</DIV>
<DIV>it myself). Your dad probably matched the</DIV>
<DIV>original, which I see his is a MK1 like mine.</DIV>
<DIV>Mine was slightly darker and maybe a little</DIV>
<DIV>less milky. I like the milk though!</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I know that pictures vary by camera, daylight, and computer
screen. But I will say that the car in the foreground looks exactly to
me like what I think factory 86 is. And when I put it next to the
picture of my Tiger, I think the prior comments are true - mine is just a
shade less milk, but still has some.</DIV>
