Oh my...There we go! After multiple attempts we were finally able to post these medioce, down-sized and compromised photos of probably the favorite Rick in my stable. She's a July 1987 4003S in original Ruby finish.

Thanks for your help with the photo's, Jon. Not meaning to insult your work, just frustrated with the photographic limitations of the forum! Actually the photos look pretty good!

Thanks Jaymi and Chris.

It really is a cool color. And looking at photos of it, its easy to see how it can confuse people. It looks a lot different outside in bright light than it does inside in dim light. Mine looks kinda different than the one that Jaymi started the thread off with, but its just the light. The color on mine would look the same if it were inside.

Yeah Jaymi, that's the colour, LOL!!!!

Jeff's right, it does look very different to the pics you posted which did rather confuse matters (not that you posted them, I mean the pics themselves...heck, you know what I mean Image). I can go and lie down now.....obviously a colour with a nice degree of complexity....stunning actually (and there's me saying I don't like red...)!!! Although personally I prefer the white trim, but hey, that's just me. Where do I get one of those????
