[Tigers] British Racing Green

[Jay Laifman]

As everyone knows, there was no Rootes BRG for the Alpine or Tiger.  The
closest was "Forest Green" - which my car actually is.  My dad used to say
it was not true BRG, because in his mind BRG was from the racing Bentleys
and Jaguar C and Ds that he loved.  However, interestingly, the first
British car to win the European Grand Prix was a Sunbeam in 1912, and it
was in “British Racing Green.”  However, it was decidedly a lighter green.
It was also the last British car to win the British Grand Prix for decades.
