That looks like the dark green (probably the most common) colour. It is notoriously hard to photograph as the paint seems to change colour under different lighting. Natural daylight with no flash is best for photographing all models.

It is very difficult apparently, the shades are so close. But maybe this will help. I put it next to my dark green Morris minor and put them in the window and the natural light is a lot better.
It definitely seems more blue next to the Morris but you guys are the experts and know a lot better than I do. Obviously if that was one I was going to sell I don't want to claim it is something it isn't. Or claim it's green and someone buys it for cheap and finds out they got a bargain. (No offense to you guys! Ha). But you know what I mean, I'm learning because I want to describe things properly but also understand what I am selling.
It is in beautiful condition. The color under the wheel well is exactly the same as the rest of the car so I don't see any sun fading. Like I said yesterday, these cars have been wrapped and stored for at least ten years, probably 20.
On another note, I found the box for the prime mover. It was in the last stack that I looked through but I found it.
And the 27b dark green low loader with gpw (I'm learning the lingo) was one of the few that was not in the case and just loose. I'm pretty sure I spotted the boxes in one of the piles.
Some people asked about a few other cars and their boxes. Some are in the album I linked to in the beginning. And then here are a couple of the other boxes, not sure if they are the right ones.
Hope the quick pictures help a little to everyone that asks.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts as I try to sort through these.

[/quote After giving my statement a thought motorman, I figured it might be best to keep those other guys concentrating on Bulgarians while we collect all the good stuff. It IS very dangerous letting them Post here though, I caught myself looking at Rolytoy labels the other day for a few minutes and then came back to my senses.......Nice picture of you and your brother Nick....It reminded me of a Big Time Wrestling tagteam promo picture when I saw it........LOL kwakers
