This team ran F.2 Coopers occasionally in 1960 - at one point, running two cars at Snetterton for Tony Maggs and John Whitmore.

Our dear friend David McKinney sent me a black and white picture showing the Maggs car which is clearly painted in two different colours. I'm wondering if anyone has a programme from a 1960 F.2 race that included Essex team cars that lists their colours?

The Snetterton meeting on 6 August 1960 lists the cars as entered by Ogier, and the colour code is "G", so presumably green.

An interesting comment but the picture that David sent me shows a two-tone livery with the panel in front of the driver being darkish, but the remainder of the bodywork that is visible looks very light.
