And Greg Petrolati replied:

 "My own recommendation would be "Brooklands Green". I painted my TR4
  that color . . . because it was what I consider BRG should be [and]
  because it was the closest match I could find to a photo I had of 
  one of the Pre-War Lemans Bentleys."

Listen to Greg - he knows what he's talking about. Congratulations on
deciding to paint your car exactly the color that YOU want.

And if you want to know what _I_ think of as "British Racing Green", take a
look at <http://www.fot-racing.com/tr6/caption/3.htm>
