I got hooked on the show when I saw the Alpine in the previews. The show is mostly supernatural (not girly) which I'm a sci-fi fan anyway.
I'm restoring a like series 3st, thinking of painting it blue and naming her Nancy.
The picture in the post above looks darker than what I's seen in the show. Does anyone know what color blue it is?

If you enjoy watching shows with LBCs. Modern Love Season 2 Episode 1 "on a Serpentine Road With the Top Down" features a Triumph Stag.
Nice story as well.

I don't think that's an original color. The only blue available for S3 was light blue metallic, which was lighter and a different shade - at least it looks different in the photos.

S3 was light blue metallic
I had a S3 GT that was Wedgewood blue, black seats and lt blue piping. But the car in question
is not in an original color, or at least it doesn't appear so.

Ricks right, that Modern Love episode is a great one, centered around the Stag!
