Subject: [Tigers] British car colors from the 60's
It looks like now the discussions on the correct green color has settled =
down, I would like to add a comment based on dealership employment back =
in the early 70's. These comments apply to all the popular British =
marques. In the early 60's thru late 70's the paint blending did not =
have the accuracies that exist today, that being said paint mixed in the =
morning probably didn't match exactly paint mixed in the afternoon after =
a "2 Pint" lunch. The sales staff at one dealership I worked at would =
always comment on a load of 7 cars that were all ordered the same color, =
but none were the same, especially the BRG ones. They would call the =
buyers in order of their deposits and they could come pick the one they =
liked the best. That being said, which green or any other color for =
that matter is exactly correct is very subject to discussion and =
objectivity. We can all probably agree to disagree, but just because you =
bought your car new and it has original paint, doesn't mean that someone =
else's car can't have the same "correct" color but be a different shade. =
When it comes to Sunbeam colors I feel that some of the original colors =
need a little adjustment to really look good, please I know that may =
offend a few purists, I mean no offense, its just my personal taste. =20
