Subject: Re: 1955 3 litre DHC for sale
I am very sure that - back then as now - 'Sir' could have any colour desired. All I meant is that, if memory serves from reading my 'Salesmans' Guides' which are not to hand, 'Bristol Red' was not a standard hue.
'Metallic' may well not be the correct description of what I mean - it's just that I can't think of a better word. It's not brown at all, at least not to my eye.
Re colour matching, they are getting an expert man in. I assume that they will use a machine but will ask. If I can get some kind of code to rehearse, I will post it on here.
