Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Re: Sandy's Coupe
Body:
Jeff, 85 + 86 both came in Dark Blue or White. Only 3 colors were
added to that for '86, those being my Charcoal Grey Metallic, Silver
Metallic or black. However, new stripe colors were added of black,
or silver and combinations with the white or dark blue were
increased. In 84 or 85 you had to get the orange striping, but
for '86 you could have silver striping on the white.
