[Tigers] Forest Green

[Allan Ballard]

Jan Servaites (Jumping Jan) at SAOCA sells chips with the correct Rootes colors, including Forest Green 86.

I got one for Forest Green from him.

Concours judges “should” be able to spot it.

About 15 years ago, I had a body shop do this and the match was perfect to my eye.  And I live in a *very* rural area with little resources.  So that's the way I would go...

There were three of us there with Code 86 cars, and we were all very different colors. In the stock category! And while I was pinged a whole point for missing a wiring clip, none of us were pinged for having the wrong color.  So I'm not sure you'll get a straight answer on           the true 86 hue.
