To all of you who replied, I can't guarantee that I've found the COMPLETE
list of paint NAMES or their codes. I'm inclined to believe it is likely to
be complete as the multi-generation photocopy in my possession says
"TRIUMPH ENGINEERING DIVISION - FLETCHAMPSTEAD NORTH" - which is where it
was located. It's therefore reasonably safe to assume it's a definitive list
of all the paint colour names for the period it covers. The former Berger
and ICI reference numbers have been largely superceded and this is why I
thought it would be sensible to use a current PPG number. This pre-supposes
that PPG operates the same global part numbering system - and assumption
upon which it's not safe to rely. Consequently, the number I do uncover will
be references known in the UK. All I really wanted to know is would the
material in updated form be of any use to the list as a whole?
