Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / 50 Shades of Grey

« on: September 09, 2021, 11:56:59 »

Well slightly less than that, but Thames Ditton did like to describe the colours that they used as Grey.  Birch Grey, National Grey, Slate Grey...……….. 

Birch Grey was a cream colour and was the colour of my fathers Saloon (MZ 8150).  National Grey was a green colour and came in light and dark, (the light version NTV 836)…………

I have had a request from a gentleman who wishes to re-paint his car in the original colour which was National Grey but am struggling to find any reference to it; does any one know who the paint manufacturer was and even better does anyone have a code for the colour?

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Uncle Alfred's Toe-In

« on: July 21, 2017, 13:10:06 »

Those of you with long memories will remember our 1926 Royal 'Uncle Alfred'.  He is back on the road again after considerable mechanical restoration.  He managed the longest journey he has completed in over 10 years recently to a local village fete, all of 4 miles which he achieved with aplomb.
   
   Does anyone have any idea what the toe-in should be a the steering was a little dodgy???
   
   The restoration is to continue, with the wings being next, when I have confidence he can manage longer journeys, the coachworks is 35 miles away!
   
   All the best,
   Tom
   
   PS how do you post pictures on this forum?
