Newtune team and colour info? Please help

My car is currently stripped of every nut and bolt and ready for paint. The car will be painted in its original pre 70's colours. Rubbing down a few layers of paint has confirmed it was a metalic green colour for sure. Much of the interior still shows reminance of it too. Whilst doing some research on the cars original owner, Bill McGovern, to confirm it was raced by him, I found a picture of a similar coloured green car. It stated it was a "Newtune" car. I'm presuming this was a team or support company?? Or was it just a colour? After a little bit more digging I found that Bill McGovern drove a "Newtune" coloured car too. Has anyone got any coloured pictures of the Newtune cars? Any help or direction would be great. Thanks guys

Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is Newtune just a shade af green from the 60's and 70's?

You are barking or colour blind , 110 NNM was a Newtune car and is grey, Turenne Grey, which was a Renault colour at the time.

Et voila as our Gallic cousins would say

..with an opalescent maroon roof (Jag colour I think) Newtune, like any tuning company will have prepared lots of cars. They ran other Minis, a Riley Elf for Phil Morris, not sure on the colour of that cos I've only B&W pictures of it, and an MGB.

Thats excellent guys. Thank you so much. I'm really green to all the old racing history but am finding it very interesting finding out whats what. I hadn't heard of Newtune until recently let alone finding out McGovern had a car tuned/built by them. Would anybody know what colour Bill McGoverns racers were? I say racers as I know he put one on its roof so I doubt there was only one.
