Much as "Miata" is always the answer to "Which car should I buy?" British Racing Green is the no-brainer response to "Which color should a British vehicle wear?" Be it an E-type Jag or a Land Rover, pretty much any vehicle from across the pond looks appropriate in BRG.

Theoretically, let’s say that BRG isn’t an option for the Brit car of your choosing. What, then, is the next best choice?

Looks pretty good on a P car too.

Of course JPS always works a treat.

And I always get puzzled looks when I refer to a mid-70's Pontiac Trans-Am as being JPS colors. What?!  That's a Bandit paint scheme.  No. It. Isn't.

I'm not really interested in changing the color of my Bugeye, I refer to the color as "Blarple" as its kind of a black purple depending on the light.

There's something about meatballs without numbers in them.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Thank You!

I love the aesthetic of a motorsports car of the era on the street. The era where you really could drive the car you raced to and from the track. It certainly gets a lot of attention and positive feedback!
