I do intend painting her in the original green, I must confess the shade of which is not particularly to my taste, that said, the surviving panel is from the later bonnet, which dates from the the post rebuild carried out by John Pares, as seen in the picture posted by Mike, with John Pares and his first wife Mary. Based on a fragment of paint on another component and studying the 1925 pictures, I suspect that the car was initially painted in a darker green.
In the short term I will be doing what Tony suggested and leaving her in the natural metal and clear doped Irish linen. I do rather like her in this finish though!
Regards, Mark.
