I agree Jay.
Both cars are identical Dupont acrylic lacquer
replacement 86 from 1979-1992 (I sprayed
it myself).  Your dad probably matched the
original, which I see his is a MK1 like mine.
Mine was slightly darker and maybe a little
less milky.  I like the milk though!

And when I put it next to the picture of my Tiger, I think the prior comments are true - mine is just a shade less milk, but still has some.
