I had a car with a white dash and if the sun was behind you it was blinding.

Nice Paddy. I am curious what the actual color code on the datacard is?

Thanks Paddy. I have the 717 white with 115 Dark Blue. Thought your white looked a shade whiter than mine. I like all the whites.

The steering coupler bushings arrived yesterday, I'm surprised at how soft they are. Almost like a hard rubber. It's easy to see how they would deteriorate over 42 years! Now all I need is a few hours free time to put them in...
