 I've seen different brands of cars with all different colors of British racing green.

My favorite British Racing Green was on the Triumph TR6.

Not saying that the lines weren't gold colored, but I sourced this part in the early 90's from the dealer and it has whatever green coating that the later cars have.  I find that of interest.  Not sure why they switched to this treatment.  Part is for Z's up to 9/71:

I think this is another great example of the difference of parts used in the factory assembly and replacement parts sent to the dealers. We know the air filter boxes used on the assembly line were a bright red-orange while those going to parts departments were light blue.
