Triumph Spitfire Colour Chart

Introduction

The table below shows the original colour availability for each of the five Triumph Spitfire marks. A dash (-) in the table indicates that the colour was not available for that model. However I have been notified of a few cars that appear to contradict the availability information presented here. I can't explain this - maybe they were special orders?

The background colour of each row is an approximation of the paint colour. I've tried to get the colours as accurate as possible, but they are obviously affected by the brightness and contrast of your monitor.

I am indebted to the Rimmer Brothers Spitfire Parts Catalogue for the original information. And to Monica Glinski, FranÇois Demont (from Amicale Spitfire), Philip Warburton and Corey Sherman who supplied information on the colours I was missing.

However the Mallard Blue controversy continues... I've received an email from Jim who says that his Mallard 'Blue' car looks different to my sample below - like British Racing Green but bluer is how he described it. Has anyone else got a view on this?
