It would be nice to think that the new owner will put it back into RN markings though I bet it won't be. Was it ever gray in colour or did the MLRU markings appear over a typical army scheme for the period?
Larry,

My recollection from 30 years ago, was that parts were not easy to find then, we trawled the old motor parts dealers as the engines were used in civvy lorries and agricultural vehicles. The original colour of the C4 was brown, from the factory, no sign of grey. It had a coat of green on top.
