Thanks Glen,
I checked the list and maybe this is the right one ....
P148 BROOKLANDS RACING GREEN 5038, even though my body code is P420-5038.

Ford only had enough paint for 500 Capri Brooklands, and in fact built a total of 1038. In order to make the paint last, it had to be watered down, meaning that the last cars were much lighter than the first ones.

Is it still April Fool's Day?
Ford never actually built any Capri Brooklands, they were all Capri 280s.
And hardly any were used in hill-climb trials.

I call "fibber" on the paint, Ford could easily have had a new batch of paint mixed.
Unless TVR kept nicking their stocks to paint Andy's S....

I read it in a Ford magazine, however it does sound rather far-fetched.
