Grey coloured 4 door Saloon ?

Post by minormadman »

Hello all, I am trying to find the colour of a 4 door Saloon I saw on here somewhere ( sorry cannot find it again to show here) a short while ago.

It was a light grey colour, it faced towardsthe right of the pic (the bonnet was on the right hand side) and it was a full side on view showing the whole of the car, it seemed to be shot from a slightly lower angle (say level with the door handles).

I cannot say for sure but think that the Semaphore trafficator holes were solid so I assume it must have been mid to late 60's.It must have been a proper grey, as opposed to a "bluey "grey Smoke, it definitely was not smoke grey !

I seem to recall someone mentioned it was an older car owned once or maybe still, by Ray Newell ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Cliff

in the post semaphore era, dove grey was one of the common colours - its not far off from grey primer colour but has an almost un-noticeable amount of beige in it.
