The time has come to discuss what colour I want my Nippy to be, now that it’s restoration is nearing that stage. The four options for 1935/36 cars is quoted as black, cherry red, canary yellow and turquoise.
My car has evidence of several previous colours, but when bought, was pale blue. The V11 has the car registered as Blue, so I thought I should opt for turquoise in keeping with the 1935 colours.
But what shade of turquoise? Pale, greenish, bluish? Nobody seems to know the EXACT shade. If I get it wrong, there will always be someone who will say “it shouldn’t be that colour”.
So, can anyone help me out with this “problem”.
