Andy, Thanks for the offer to loan your color chips, but the paint was only
offered prior to the Sixties.. Another lister gave me the following ICI number
for Apple Green: ICI2920. If it's not too much trouble maybe you could call
the
Morgan dealership and ask if the number is still current. As a reference there
is a picture of a TR3 painted Apple Green on page 106 of Bill Piggott's new book
"Original Triumph TR2/3/3A" just released this year.
I found a color that is close (darker) called Olive Green used on '58 TR's which
will work if I can't find any more informatino on Apple Green.
Thanks, Dave
