Hi Guys
Wow what a motor. Its great to see such a clear picture. I will show mum as I'm still not sure who is who in the car. I'll have to contact Beaulieu Motoring Museum to find out what colour it was. I've always assumed it was British Racing Green as most cars those days were green or black.
Thanks for the hard work
Jane

Hi Man of Kent
Merv what a great picture. I didn't realise it could be gold. Hope you don't mind me posting it, but thanks for sending me the full size so I have go the better definition.

Glad you liked it Jane.
It may be possible to find out exactly what the colour was,when it was scrapped, or other owners. etc.
It depends how detailed you want to be really.
Henry Ford didn't help, when he said"You can have any colour you like, so long as it's black"

Arnie that looks great! I like the spokes being red, I've seen many vintage motors with colours like that. I guess even in 1914 motor cars were still basically motorised horse-drawn carriages and those older styles still hung on.
You are coming along pretty well seeing as you only started on here a few days ago

Thanks
