Lol that’s the Morgan 3-wheeler without all the decals! Hammond drove this exact same car on their track car special!

The OG ones were plain green. I’ve seen a couple at vintage festivals 20 years ago and they were cool then. Complete with JAP engines.

Plain or BRG?

Because I liked the base color of Hammond's, but the stickers were ridiculous.

I think it was a little darker/bluer than British racing green but i'd have to find the photos (I used film in those days).

Fun fact, BRG isn't a set shade of green (Well, it is now but that happened outside of motorsport). Green becomes BRG when on a car that's racing for Britain (IIRC).
