Myles,
Back in 1965 I painted my Morgan +4 in the closest I could get to Vanwall
green. I found a Peugout color of that year which was remarkably close.
Graham Hill and Sterling Moss were my heros in those days and I followed the
BRM and Vanwall teams very closely.
Believe it or not Rolls Royce also has a very close match but I think it may
have a metalic flake in it. Jaguar also has one.
You may find something better but I would look in the old foreign car color
chip books to see if you can find the color. It has a lot of blue in it and
looks almost black in the shade.
