Color Combinations for BJ7

Share this page

The original color of my BJ7 is Florida Green with gray interior and top. (The gray is closer to white than gray.) I debated changing the color but as KCH indicated I want a BJ7 a little different from the others. Also, it is nice to have my BJ7 match the correct color since all keys, trans, dif, and engine numbers match the heritage certificate.
 
There is a 67 BJ8 on ebay that is BRG with a tan interior, although the interior looks to have faded somewhat. It might give you an idea regarding that color combo.
 
Ray,

If you havent already got your spray can out take a look at the attached picture of Stirling Moss' C-type. He says...

" The first job was to repaint the car in BRG. In my opinion this paler metallic green is the correct hue although most are under the misapprehension that dark green is the official colour"

IMHO it would look good on a Healey, and go with tan. Its like the green equivalent of Healey Blue, if you know what I mean!!!
