TT Ulsters Colour

[austin]

I have pics of 2 original ulsters. With the caveat that if not calibrated your viewing computer monitor can vary the colours there's definitely a reddish tinge to the orange.

GW has restored and repainted a fair while ago, not sure on the history of paint / body restoration before that. (But it is a lovely car!)

The other car is David Howe's, new body work apart from the petrol tank and therefore relatively new paint.

The cars are only orange because that's how the class system worked in the TT or Irish Grand Prix, (can't remember which). I vaguely remember that part of the car had to be colour coded, (bonnet??) but the Austin team decided to go orange all over.
