Rover Light Green.

The last one isn’t anything to do with a classic colour. Some spotty German grammar school leaver in an office will have made it up.

Oh and don’t buy any. If it’s anything like your duck egg oil can it’ll never get finished.

And Rover Light Green changed from batch to batch. You can get a dozen at a show in original paint and none of them match.

If you pop down to HMG in Manchester theyll knock you up a gallon. Unless you know a bloke who works there and you have to settle for half a gallon coz he cant get the big tins under his coat.
