[Tigers] Rootes Paint code 86

[michael king]

The rootes forests green is a murky colour when seen in clear sunlight.

The following photos are an original paint 86 MKI.... All the same car.. As
you can see the light its photographed in makes a big difference...but in
person on a clear day its a more muddy green
