definitive name of the colors from factory records, then it's "Metallic
Golden Beige".  Every one of the 62 certificates for these cars in the BJ8
registry files calls it "Metallic Golden Beige" and not "Golden Beige
Metallic".
[Yes, Earl, I know]

I seem to have misplaced my copy of Clausager, so I can't check but I
believe he calls it Metallic Golden Beige also.

And as long as we're on the subject, for BJ8s it's "Ivory White", not
"Old(e) English White".

If I may  use a word I'm surprised Ed didn't use, I think GBM is the most 
bitchin'  color there is for a BJ8!  Likewise, Healey blue for a 100.   
Mine stayed its original Carmine red upon restoration.  Fortunately,  the 
bluer and not the orangery of the later reds.
