Slippery Anne at Curborough Sprint

[Ian Williams]

Can I add my two penn'orth, as Nick says she was always painted, the Brooklands 750cc class H colour at the time was green, so to my mind she has to be green. Of course the actual shade may be subjective, are there any contemporary reports that describe the colour, Waites previous 1924 car was described as "apple green''. The surviving sample from Pares ownership looks distinctly hand painted, there are also extremely clear pictures of the car when apparently new with Waite seated where it look's far from hand painted, suggesting to me that there was at least one repaint. Is the later colour the same as the previous one, is there any evidence of this on the surviving fragment below the current green?
I would also suggest that the Factory would have used a colour from their contemporary catalogue, so if it were me I think I would be looking at 1925 Austin shades of Green and choosing the one I felt most appropriate.
