Hi, Bill,

Old English White is a name and shade originating with BMC - Austin, Morris, MG, Riley and Wolseley. It has/had overtones of cream. This side of pond (in U.K.) everyone selling a white classic car of any make, always refers to it as being OEW. Don’t know why but it’s become a generic. Glad the paint code list helped. It’s all out there - you just have to throw a large net, use lots of different search criteria and just drill.

Cheers, Jonmac
