The Mk2 Jaguar OEW is beautiful.


From the tin i got the sample from:



Year: 1958-1971 Group: 2
Make: JAGUAR
Name: OLD ENGLISH WHITE


It has red tint in it. This gives it a 'pink' tone :?

Each to their own though.....

We ended up making a custom OEW :lol:

Colours are interpreted differently by each person.
I saw this colour to be a bit pinkish too, but was a warm colour, and some OEWs i have seen have been quite bland and boring.




Now help me choose a colour.
I want a boring colour, 60s or 70s, not too outrageous.
I do like the blues, greens, greys a lot.

But yes. :lol:

What happened to the Mazda6 colour you were hot for?

Go a blue, island or Tahiti. (there's my stinky opinion :wink: )

i just got my 66 mini minor resprayed in its original colour- seamist green. i looks so good on a mini as it treally suits the period of the car. it would aslo look rewal nice with a white roof. mine is the only seamnist green mini i know of. there is also a mist green but i think it is lighter and not as nice.
