Re: ebay: 87 asc brochure

The sole piece of 1991 material that I have ever found, actually did
not come from ascMcLaren, but rather from SIKKENS, the paint mfgr. of
the paint on the cars. It was to ascMcLaren and to ascMcLaren
dealers on record as of 3-31-1990.
It was black & white, stiff paper (or cheap cardboard) and listed the
1991 exterior paint colors for the car.
Continued were Keweenau White/Jet Black/ascMcLaren Red/Sea Foam
Aquamarine/Coral Red; a.k.a. Cotton-Candy Pink Pearl/and Dino Yellow.
Discontinued were: Azura Blue Pearl/Sterling Silver/ and Royal Gold.
New were to be:-
Weinsburg Silver Metallic / Bimini Blue Metallic / Cinnamon Pearl.

Top colors discontinued were was the Claret~Wine.
Interior colors discontined were: Scarlet and Titanium Grey.
Interior colors for '91 were to be: Oxford White; Ebony Black;
Crystal Blue & Dark Regatta Blue.
Continuing Roof Colors were to be:
Oxford White; Black; Atlantic Blue.

They were very obviously cutting back - way back, on combinations.
