Bristol Red
Hi, although my car is a V8 it was painted from new in RR regal red.
The 407's were the first cars to be built by Park Royal and trimmed there, the 406 was built by Jones bros and maybe when Park Royal took the contract they used RR Regal red as a near match for Bristol Red. Tony Crook always told be it was Bristol Red but I have a build sheet from Park Royal stating it was RR Regal Red. I do hope this does not confuse the issue but it is definitely a different colour to the 406's I have seen in Bristol Red.
