The showroom colour would mellow over the passing years. I am told by an enamel paint expert that it reaches the "designed" colour at about 2-3 years old. At the end of the day you just have to pick the colour you like, probably won't be right, but it won't be wrong either ;-)
Getting back to Tony Press' question : "Weren't some of the Ulsters Blue?" Almost correct, Not sure how many were involved but some factory competition cars were painted Turquoise. The reason ? Because it was Irene Waite's favourite colour at that time. May be worth a thought, Tracy and Tony? Good Luck and a Happy New Beer. Bill in Oz
