Hi Edward-
FWIW
If you are using the Donald Pikovnik book "AUSTIN-HEALEY" Guide to Historic
Colors for your color recognition I think that you will find that there are
two red colors shown on page 8. One of these are designated as Carmen
Red-RD.13 ICI-2260 that appears to be very close match with the Tartan Red
-RD.09
ICI-3770 on page 16. The Tartan Red is shown to have been a Sprite-Mk IV color.
Not to be confused with the Carmine Red -RD.13 ICI 8616 that is shown on the
upper right of page 8.
For what it is worth to my knowledge this was not a standard color that was
offered on the BN4. Although it may have been provided as a special order.
As I have said this is just my humble opinion.
