I am getting to the stage of deciding on colours for the ex Hong Kong AG tourer.
I think the original colours may have been maroon with black mudguards. (no UK records that I can find). In Hong Kong it was Blue Black on the tax disc, but the Blue was a rather insipid blue. These colours have been established by rubbing down through the layers. Then of course it had the violent yellow, black & rust plus filler from California via Ohio.
I have got the car back to it's mechanical specification in Hong Kong - as far as I can judge, but I am not keen on the Blue (possibly Valspar or the like!) it is a bit like the banners on this page!
Does anyone have a modern specification equivalent to the 1932 Maroon? As the short chassis tourer shown on
pp 8 & 9 of the "Coming of age" booklet would be appropriate.
