Rover 12 P1 Green colour code
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:58 am
Hello,
I am a new member to this forum and I like to ask a question about the green color for 1934 Rover P1 cars.
A couple of years ago I bought a 1934 Rover 12 in the UK.
She was a very fine car to drive and we enjoyed some rallies in Holland.
As she suffers from woodworm, she needs to be threatened for this.
I chose for the option to put her in a refrigeration (container) for two weeks with a week outside in between.
This was a disaster for her paintwork.
Most paint came off from the bonnet and also at some other places.
The decision was made to strip her to the bare metal and give her a new coat of paint.
After stripping the paint the results of a 1980’s restoration came to daylight.
All the holes at the bottom part of the body were just filled up with filler and newspaper.
Many parts were made new and welded in place.
Now it’s time to bring her to the paint shop.
The car was original black with green upholstery.
As she is retired now, I like to give her a two tone appearance.
Green and black for the body with black wings and wheels.
Now my question: Can anyone tell me what the correct code for the green color is?
I have found some green Rover cars on the internet with the registration ADL690, SYB 5 and MPF 862.
I would be very pleased to contact the owners.
With kind regards,
Double Dutch.
PS,
I will post some pictures in the near future.
