[Tigers] Forest green

[Gary]

Didn’t your father say it was original paint?
Rootes did change 86 over the years.
My MK1 was originally a little darker than the
later Simca(Chrysler) code 86 (at least the
Dupont replacement ).  Both are real close
though, Paul Reisentz used to call it
 “muddy”.  I call it a complex Euro color. 
  I much prefer it to a pure green
like Jaguar.  To each his own ....
