Greetings,
I will soon be painting my 1963 Mk1 Spitfire. The Thomason restoration books
states that royal blue was introduced as a Spitfire color in 1964. Does
anyone know if this color was available as a special order for earlier
Spitfires? Was it available on any other Triumphs? There is a gentleman
from Australia, John Broadbent, that lists a royal blue 63 Spit on the
database. If a 63 royal blue spit were entered in a Triumph concours event
would it receive a deduction for incorrect color?
