Sorry don't know the colour code but its not British Racing Green as that paint weighed to much on the car

One of DAX's customers had his Tojerio painted in the colour, it looks completely different in daylight compared to photo's and tv. He used to work for Jaguar so could get the colour, don't think its available otherwise.

yes, it turns almost yellow when in the light, that's why i like it

i'm sure that paint manufacturers can produce it, if we give them the correct information they need

I remember reading at the time that the paint colour was chosen to look right on TV as opposed to being right when seen in real life.

Strange world we live in....
