Grren 356 Pre A? Anyone know who it is?

Funny old day. I was meant to be taking my car to PRS this morning, but car won't start so ended up doing Plan B which was shopping with my wife.

However, every cloud has a silver lining - on the way out I saw a dark/ bottle green Pre A driving towards Chislehurst - I guess it had just come off the A20. If you are the owner of this car then I was the bloke driving a Land Rover who suddenly wet his pants and started pointing at you!

Does anyone know who this is, and of the car is at all local? I've never seen it before. Certainly cheered me up after not being able to start mine.

Oops - just spotted couple of typos in my above message - sorry!

Was just too eager to find out who this Pre A belongs to!

Hi Si,

I hope all is well?

The pre A could be Owen's - he lives Wadhurst way. A lovely car which he took to the Castle. It's dark green with a tan interior - truly scrumptious indeed

From memory it has a '356' license plate.

Was that the one?

Hi Steve - all good thanks, baby was discharged from hospital on Monday so great to have her back home again!

Didn't get a chance to see the number plate - is Owen on DDK then?

Hi Si,

That's very good news re the lill' un

I'm not sure whether Owen is on here or not to be honest. I've only ever met him in real life!

I'll find out though.

Keep us all informed of the work on your car though (once it gets there!)

It could have been Jeff East.

He lives in the Bromley area.

His car is a dark green metallic 1956 T1 ‘A’ RHD.

It could well have been a T1 'A', and it was heading towards Chislehurst/ Bromley.

Thanks again for your help on the phone yesterday Paul. I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to get back to the car and keep up with trying to get fuel through. If i can start it then I'll be up to you one day next week - most likely Tues or Weds. Otherwise it'll be a phone call to see if your trailer is handy?!?

No worries Simon.

Is this the one?

Jade Green

what my car was orginaly .. not painting it that colour.

Green was the only colour car I had a bump in and it's because he couldn't see me.. so I want a nice bright colour so they can

Owen's is the same colour but a lefty.

It's a superb colour - love it... Out of interest, does anyone know if this is a colour they would have used in '58? Not that I'm thinking of having my car stripped and resprayed, oh no...

Hello, the colour is Lago Green Metallic and not Jade green.
The lago green was only produced in 1956. Great colour

My T1 is originally lago green as well but the previous owner resprayed it in red

Greatings from Paris !
