Obviously painted with 'invisible paint' - since we can't see anything!! But just a wild guess - is it green ???

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.
