Doesn't look monochrome on my screen. The first looks blue, but I
think that's the reflection of the sky on the obviously well waxed and
polished paint. The second looks BRG (British Racing Green). Nice
rides, nice brraaappp sound. Not as sweet as a TR-3, but nice.
Used to trounce on those Bug Eyes with my 60 Renault Dauphine 4 door
grey with junkyard seatbelts I bailing wired to the springs underneath
the seat so I would look legal for the autocross inspections. Not
because the Renault was fast, but it turned 90 degrees in a hearbeat
and went on seat beltsto the next cone, screaming tin 4 banger (my
Dad's, so I didn't care).
Good times!

These two images are not posted for any of their photographic
content but for the memories.
I came across these two slides taken over 42 years ago - probably on
a Voightlander folder or a Zeiss Ikon Contessa. I was surprised by
the original slide format - 27mm square. Film was Kodak Kodachrome.
The years or the film have given these image an almost monochrome
appearance. Scanned on my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED.
The images are of a 59 Austin Healy Sprite (Bugeye) that was my
first real car. Got me thru college with only regular oil/filter
changes, a tune up or two and a set of Michelin radial tires.
The most fun for the buck in a car that I've ever had.
