Trendy - like Viceroys turned into Derek Bells
In Response To: So Now, Everything is an "Orange Boy" ()

Hi Jeff, I agree and my opinion is it is somehow a bandwagon thing but also, as Rich points out, a question of easy way of referencing.
It does look like a couple of years back, after Arno's auction, when all black-and-red 1163's had become "Derek Bell's" overnight, even those that were the Viceroy archetypes, isn't it?
Cheers,
Fabrizio
