Re: Hardtop - Paint colour

[David Horsnell <david@domain.elided>]

My MkII hartop is original and umolested.  All metal work is body
colour, in my case Pimento Red.  I have never noticed  a non body colour
on any of the hard tops I have seen and can only guess that the cream
colour is a prvious colour change before the gold.
