That was the colour I suggested at the start of the thread.... I don't think anybody believed me!
 Just glad I wasn't imagining it!

I see that the POR 300 range, a US paint, do a Ford Medium blue and a Ford Dark Blue. Its tricky to see from the screen what the colour is exactly but as long as its not the Ford Corporate Emblem blue, I dont think it is, then this could be the colour. Anyone had any experience of it?
Oh and by the way, My father said that every engine that he saw fitted to the Sentinel made Universals came from Dagenham and was mated to the gearbox. They were both black and all they did was put it on a jig and run them to set up or check the carburettor settings and then they were fitted. I appreciate that these were UK built non Mercury engines, but it may be of interest.

All 85 BHP Ford V8s were painted 'Ford Dark Green'.
All 95/100BHP Mercury V8s were painted 'Ford Dark Blue'. All wartime UCs and Loyds had 85BHP Ford Units. All T16s received Mercury V8s. You can get both from the US, try Joblot or duplicolor, they stock both colours...... but then comes the million dollar question.... what colour were the gearboxes painted, blue or green....ahhhhh  PS. The Loyd is getting a Ford Dark Green Flathead and box, however I'd like to know if it is supposed to be gloss, semi or matt?

I disagree that all war time U.C's were 85 H.P.
Gearbox's were grey weren't they?
