Thanks Alan. I'm in Milton Keynes, it's great to have some options to consider, particularly if they come recommended. Regards, Trevor

Where are you based Trevor? I have found a guy local to me (in North Kent) who does a touch-up paint service. I'll PM his details if you're around this area.

As a long time admirer, very recent owner (1992 4/4) and absolute novice, I'm finding lots of extremely useful information on the Forum - thank you. I wondered if anyone could advise where/if Connaught Green paint can be found? The intention being to try to 'touch up' a couple of scratches.....

The strict answer is there is no such colour as British Racing Green as although green was the British colour, racers just used any old green they had to hand. There have been colours since described as 'British Racing Green', but the most well known of these, MGs effort in which many MGBs were painted, most authorities think is too light. Stanley Mann, the Bentley seller and restorer uses Bentley Brunswick Green of the late 50's as the colour. I got this transferred to a brushing paint, suitable for my three wheeler (no twins were ever sprayed in period) and it is essentially a green with some added black - ie a darker shade. rgds Martyn On Jul 16 2012, Gerald Wallace wrote: Lorenz, according to the original build specification for my car (I was not the first owner), the colour is 'Jaguar Racing Green'. It is similar to the Talbot cars that were racing in the Le Mans Classic. My car is not looking at it's best in the photo, it needs a good wash after many miles driving in France .
