While I agree the colored FWs are gorgeous, realize these have been repainted and generally cost quite a bit. The advantage is they've been completely gone through so they are like a new machine inside too. However I've seen quite a few on ebay that had the paint chipping or flaking off. So maybe some are better at repainting then others.
Singer only sold FWs in Black, Tan and White/Celery. There are a few times I've been tempted to purchase a refurbished one. Besides the red, another I've seen is "root beer" color and oh is that one rich looking.
