It's considerably brighter and 'louder' than any BRG.


Hi GT, I think you misunderstood what I wrote, I didn't ask if Hairy Lime was like BRG. I was asking if like BRG with it's 101 shades does Hairy Lime also have different shades :?: :)

Cheers
Steve


Ha! My bad. Yours ^^ does look like it could be Hairy Lime. I've not had any Minis (that I recall) that colour, but I've had a few Mokes in HL.

Hairy Lime only came in one 'shade'.

Cappa, its green from the factory. The above link says Hairy Lime was introduced in '73, I reckon earlier. Somewhere I have a photo of a light green GT.

Steve I have just emailed you a Pic of my Hairy Lime mini. I have no idea how to put pics up on here yet. Too Complicated. Should be simplified.
