I personally prefer the darker colours but like a contrasting roof colour.

Good Question.
I think silver with a red interior is safe and looks good. I'm partial to darker colours though that you can get a nice reflection on and show off
the Ghia's curves. If I could afford it I'd probably get something like a candy apple red, or midnight blue. Get all the fittings
re-chromed/polished, and I think you'd have a real head turner.
Just avoid signal orange like mine,....lol.
Nikos.

Yeah, Ian that's my cars twin, only I've got a cabrio version. Same year model 70, and colour orange.
That silver on the dyno looks the best from the three you posted.
Anyone know where I get get some of those sleek side view mirrors like the ones on that black ghia.
What colours did you have in mind Greg?

process?
