It wasn't from the same cache, it was supposedly from a a different owner, those in the pic were originally owned by Clive, from the info that I have received and investigated over the last few years, but can I say that I am 100% positive, no I can't...
After restoring it for a second time I found a different layer of white (small patch), now was it from the original, who knows. Or was it a test batch of white from the museum when they restored it, who knows!!! I know the museums other car (without the roof) was restored at the same time and has the same color, mirrors etc as mine.
In my original pics that I have some appear silver and some white, the early cars appear silver and a few of the MK II's appear white. I wish I had a definitive time frame on what was painted what and when..

Look at Jack in the Box II (HSC MK I) F196345, it appears to have a white interior and went to the museum right after the war. Now I do not think it has been repainted on the inside, maybe someone at the museum can shed some light.
