I have to apologize for the clumsy way in which I asked the question about the van colour etc.
I know too well the difficulties in trying to discern colours from black and white prints and in this case I really should have been a little more careful in regards to the information sought regarding the van’s colour.
The picture source is from the Austin Seven Source Book page 111. It gives the colour of the van and the script on the side .
I am looking for a theme to finish my own van in when it is done and this seemed a good one to emulate as the description does suggest that it was a factory vehicle.
My guess is that if it was painted maroon as stated in the pictures script, that it most likely would have been the same Maroon used on the production line for cars made the same year.
So this is what I was trying to find out:
1.Maroon; the same standard shade and colour as for Sevens of 1927 ?
2.Wheels and wings Black as per regular production ?
3.Roof possibly White as indicated in the photo?
Thank you all for your patience in answering this post. I genuinely appreciate your input in this regard.
Cheers,
Stephen
