I've not come across a Brooklands Sprint before 78/79 (T). Not sure I've seen one later than this either. Definitely not seen a BRG Sprint so must be rare. :D

'C74' Tony, the C stands for cloth.

Sorry to revive this topic but i have just noticed an article in the latest Stag club mag, that refers to British Racing Green and Brooklands Green and may shed some light on why these shades are often confused with each other when trying to identify it, apparently before the production of the new announced shade of Brooklands Green (Paint Code HAE) which was to start being used from March 1977 to replace BRG (Paint code 75) a problem with the paint was found at the factory, this meant that BRG
had to be re-introduced for a short period and by the time the Brooklands green Paint issue had been sorted both shades of green were being used a cross over period of about a month until BRG was phased out. This may explain why a few cars were painted in the earlier shade BRG but have a build date slightly later then a Brooklands Green car.

Brooklands code is HAE Chris, I can't find any reference to 95.

Yeah your right Mart not sure where i saw that, the only references to BL Brooklands Green are listed under the following codes 169, HAE, HMN for 1977. Maybe i was thinking of the non Dolomite colour JAVA green which is paint code 85.
I wonder if Tony's car was one of those caught in that confused period ?
