took a look this morning at my TR6 books. Bentley repair manual does show a color code in the SN for white. I was not able to get any information to match a factory white 40 years ago. PPG looked through all of their books and the only formula they could
find was the Jaguar white, which what I went with. </span></div>

pieced together from wrecks. I was never able to locate a salvage yard in Sacramento, CA that had white TR6 body panels. I also could never find an intact left rear tail light assembly with all lenses still good--until someone told me about TRF and Moss
Motors in the 1980's.</span></font></div>

If I?ve read the post correctly, it seems you feel body panels were a sort of pick and mix in any colour before final painting? No way! All bodies for all markets and all models came out of the body shop in white undercoat prior to going through the paint
shop in colour batches, with cars in black being painted only on Friday afternoons. This was intentional as Black was not a popular colour and allowed the spray lines to be flushed through prior to paint shop cleaning over the weekend.</span><br style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">
