A very good friend of mine, Paul A, who is fairly new to Historics, has the good fortune to have just acquired Brabham BT8 BRM V8 Chassis #5, the Team Rosebud car.
It appears to have had a thorough restoration and rebuild, but the colour is, to say the least, a very lively bright blue .... and with a pair of red "Hot Lips".
We (he) has a good history file with the car, and period black and white photographs show that it to have been a very light shade (pale blue is mentioned).
A good example is the Photograph in Doug Nye's excellent summary of Black Jack at https://www.goodwood...k-jack-brabham/
My friend Paul, who is as fussy as the best of us, has asked me to post here and see if anyone has any clues or perhaps any period colour photographs?
There are couple of rear bodywork corrections to be done and at the same time he would like to take the opportunity to get the car back into the correct colour.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
