BRM's were generally in green. Lotus race and have raced in Black and Gold for a while, were green earlier then green and yellow, have used red and white and all yellow. McLaren are silver and red. Jaguar Le Mans were predominantly White and Purple (silk cut), other colours have been used. Aston Martin cars have raced in a variety of livery. TVR's have raced in loads of different colours.
Having said that the theme that most have used appears to be Green, although that does preclude the use of other colours. I suspect dark colours back in the thirties, forties and fifties were easier to produce and cheaper hence lots of black, green and dark blue vehicles until the late fifties and early 60's/ Adrian On 16 Jul 2012, at 19:45, Tim Harris wrote: > All British sports cars are British Racing Green, just as all Ferraris are > red.
