Green interior goes with a light green exterior. A difficult colour to identify as green and very uncommon in the UK.
When the colours of the GT's are mentioned on overseas forums, Dark Blue is always considered rare but they seem to be fairly common here.
Some pre 65 colours don't seem to have been used on RHD cars, like "Antelope brown" and "Gul" a sort of light sunny yellow.
We didn't get the two tone cloth and vynil seating on the early B18's either but that's another story.

The bench seats are rare right? I would so love a bench seat.. I would probably kill a lesser friend for one in fact.

Bench seats came with column change. Conversions have been done but the long gear lever clashes with the seat unless you make a custom lever. (Shrunken head gear knob not obligatory).

I would happily modify the gear lever in any kind of way if it meant I could have a front bench! Are they difficult to get hold of?

A dubber on Retro Rides had a bench out of an early Amazon. He was based in Somerset.

Can't find anything via google.. I wonder if benches out of any other cars could be fitted? Going a bit off topic here..
