>> I have heard (can't remember where but it may have been Clausager's
>> book) that there were somewhat over 500 Coronet Cream cars built.
>> I just did a quick tally in our Hundred Registry of the cars we
>> have trusted records for, showing original colours and approximate
>> build dates. The first Coronet Cream car I have listed is Body 121
>> from first week of September '53. The last CC car I have a record
>> for is Body 1866 from the last week of January '54.
>> Within that bracket of time, I have colours recorded of 73 cars
>> (though unfortunately we have incomplete records for hundreds more
>> built during that time period that haven't sent me colour
>> information).
>> Anyway, of the sample of 73 cars recorded with colours during the
>> CC production period, here are the results:
>> 17 Coronet Cream
>> 5 OEW
>> 29 Healey Blue (metallic)
>> 19 Carmine Red
>> 3 Spruce Green
>> 1 Gunmetal Grey
>> 9 Healey Blue (non metallic)
>>
>> It's also interesting to note that when CC stopped, Spruce Green
>> and OEW picked up heavily, and Healey Blue non metallic disappeared.
>> Of course this Hundred Registry record is far from complete, but at
>> least it gives us a glimpse of percentages during a given time
>> period.
