Simon,
I'm just in the process of re-reading Chris Lawrence's " Morgan Maverick"
and was struck by something he said about TOK and the colour green.
Apperently, TOK had always been maroon/ claret and in fact had very recently (ie after the test days but before the actual Le Mans 1962 race) had a respray in that same colour.

Peter Morgan- acting on a request from the ACO- told Lawrence that it had to be green and that the Factory would do it for him, which they did.
I'm sure there must be colour pics of a 'claret TOK' in existence but I've never seen one. Can anybody help out here?

PS Lawrence wasn't keen to take the car to the Factory because it would- and did- give away the fact that he had actually used a 4/4 body for what was, to all intents and purposes, a +4!
