Keith:



Good stuff...I had always wondered about this.  I have had 2 of 4

previous British sports cars were BRG and a former German sports car was

silver.  Wasn't necessarily trying to be true to the national racing

colors, but it somehow seemed appropriate.  I was restoring a '66 Mini

Cooper S which had originally been white, repainted with a pale yellow.

Was going to be BGR with the Union Jack on the roof.  Gave the project

to a niece's husband (nephew-in-law?) as I was then busy building a

career and a family.



Interesting that the Japanese national colors aren't listed.  Anyone

know what that is?



Miata's Japanese, I'm American of Japanese descent.  What color should

my Miata be?  Somehow, red, white and blue with a rising sun doesn't

capture my imagination.



With apologies to my Egyptian friends, I am pleased to not be a national

race driver for Egypt.  Are there any such???
