Exact paint colours

[stuartu]

I found the original turquoise under archeological layers of paint on my Type 65. Although it was over half a century ago I still remember it vividly because it was a colour I especially disliked. It was very much the same as the colour on the left of the exposed swatch in the photo above.

I couldn't bring myself to paint the car turquoise. However, had Adam been in a position to help at the time, I would have chosen one of the other Austin colours, which I believe was an option when the car was new.

Stuart
