Spitfire Factory Offered Colors (Colours?)

[Les Francis <lesf@metronet.com>]

According to Thomason's Triumph Spitfire and GT6  A Guide to Originality,
beginning in Mar '77  Spitfires were available in the following colors: 
        
        BODY COLOR         CODE             Trim Color          
        Carmine Red        82/CAA           Beige               
        Leyland White      NAF              Black or Beige      
        Vermilion Red      CAE              Black               
        Inca Yellow        94/FAB           Black               
        Russet Brown       93/AAE           Beige               
        Brooklands Green   HAE              Beige               
        Pageant Blue       JAE              Black or Beige      

Now as I look at my Bentley, pg 61, I see the same info cited as '78 and later.
