Spruce Green

PostPost by: LotusArchives » Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:57 pm

Does anyone own a Elan originally painted in Spruce Green?

This colour does not appear in the archive Lotus Paint code list, but appears on 1970 Elans as leaving the factory in this colour.

I wondered what the paint code was so that I can update our records,

Thanks

Andy,

"Our" archive includes (for UK cars at least) :

Spruce Green -GN13 BMC

No equivalent Lotus number appears to have been issued.

(Ref: elan-archive-f16/paint-colours-again-t11371.html)

Thanks, so GN13 is the BMC paint code.

You've not met him then? Face to face he reminds me of Marvin. :wink:

Which "Marvin" ? :shock:

"Lee Marvin: Prematurely white-haired character who began as a supporting player of generally vicious demeanor"

"Marvin: One of the most miserable robots ever conceived and programmed with a personality that would depress even the most enthusiastic person"

"Marvin the Martian: unlike the other villains Marvin can be actually evil at most points, and not just daft"

Thanks a bunch! :wink:
