Colour Grey
Anyone got any pics of Smoke grey cars and tweed grey cars so i can compare. My car is currently in the paint shop and althoughit a 66 morris cooper s replica i really like the smoke grey of the earlier cooper. As it is a replica i am not too worried about being politically correct as long as it looks 'period' and i like it thats what really matters but would like to compare the two together just to make sure. Incidently the car has been stonechipped underneath now and the bodyshop is convinced the colour of the stonechip is smoke grey? Thanks Steve

The sprint is smoke grey, the speedwell car is tweed grey.

Re: Colour Grey
Call me a git but whilst the tweed car has the correct screen, does it have the correct door handles?

424 BRX was originally a monotone Tweed Grey car and don't be fooled by the registration, it is a 1966 car.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.
