It’s a 1960s Jaguar colour, Opalescent Gunmetal. Wheels are silver, with nice new chrome. I’m hoping that it looks late 60’s retro.

Our first ride in public together, following 2 years of restoration.
Sporting mismatched wheels, and active engine cooling. (Bonnet optional) Cheers -Mike

Quite smashing! Can't wait to see the car back together, it's going to look fantastic!
