We can't show you too much of it yet, but here is L225 Jupiter grey emerging on our recent purchase:

Here is my mostly original factory paint June of 1955 Deluxe Sunroof Beetle named "Martha". The VW Siftung Automuseum "birth certificate" letter states that it is Nile Beige. The drivers door below the trim and three of the four fenders were re-painted in 1960 by Thornton VW dealership for the original owner, all other panels are still factory original paint.

Anyway, enjoy the Nile Beige!
