Is this 30a the common brown colour or the olive green , probably not the best photo but after cleaning most of a coat of blue paint I am curious to which it is.

It looks like a light brown/tan colour to me, the shades on this model do vary. They are sometimes difficult to photograph but this is my greenish variants next to a light brown.

IIRC, the pale green 30a is similar in colour to the 59a Singer Van.

I must have painted (badly) this and others when i was a youngster back in the mist of time, and i seem to have chosen to paint all the models that have a rare or unusual colour some were in there production typical!!

I have the singer van will compare the colours.

Getting into these little cars now!!

Cheers Bill
