A few more pics of the SR1a. I restored this one in Feb 2007, the paint should be hard enough for a first steaming soon . . .

Mike, would that color be good frame paint for say, a 60's Mamod minor?

Its darker Chuck, the equivalent of our Ford Highland Green would be better - its lighter and minty looking!
