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.
