There's another on ebay at the moment...
And to answer your question, If I sold it for what I paid, I wouldn't even have 50% towards a regular one  |
That sheds a new light on it... I'd say you're right to run it in gold until it needs repainting in Cat yellow. But when you repaint, keep the 75 year sticker on her.
