Hello, how do you know what the original colour of my car was originally? Just out of interest would like to know the original colour, if anybody knows how that will be great

What colour trim for a FAH11- 4dr CKD finish?

Not in any books!

much the same as J/M lcv's, NO-ONE knows!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

The car is a 1956 Ser11 4dr, BMIHT recorded as black with maroon trim,
however, upon inspection (2014) has NO signs of ever being black, is also
fitted with red seats.

The chassis number is clearly stamped.

Any thoughts please?

In 1956 Black was the new Black.
The majority of cars of that era were Black, pure and simple.
