Rover BRG and Daimler (50's and 60's) will be different, as would Jag's etc

But it is British Racing Green belongs or belonged to member TAKA

Yes. I was right, but I was wrong. The 70s BRG was darker. But I thought I could see green on the bumper reflection. It looks like pearlescent green to me in the photo. But glad you found the old photo’s.

There was an earlier shade of green that was a bit lighter. Arden green I think.

Just about to join in when you beat me to it. I'm no expert but I personally think it's one of the best colours for our cars (whatever it is...!)

Hi, thought it looked indeed like Odyssee blue, but the pictures are proving it. Thanks for the BRG solution. A great colour. I like the sideskirts and front lip, but the wheels could be more sophisticated i.m.o. But, a very nice car. Wonder if it is still on the roads.

Cheers from Holland.

I'd be inclined to say Arden Green as well. The image has a whiff of Photoshop about it with some adjustments to saturation etc, hence it being a bit tricky to nail down.
