Yes I do know that, and I do not mind owning up to being 54, but I would like 
to know where green cam from for British race cars. It seems an odd colour to 
choose as not easily seen on a  race track or anywhere else for that, and I 
distinctly remember my mum saying a green car was bad luck.. Also if I am right 
most cars until the late 50's were darker colours, was this due to easily 
available pigments or fashion/respectability?
