Okay Cap'n... the (orange) parts book sez:





1971/72

red, bronze metallic, white, medium green, aqua green metallic, lime, medium

blue, yellow, beige metallic and silver metallic



1972/ (sic)

blue, green, orange, red (non GTS), dark red (GTS), silver (non GTS - 72

and 73 different paint formulas), silver (GTS - apparently had clearcoat),

white, yellow (non GTS), yellow gold (GTS) and black (GTS)





I'm not sure exactly what "1972/" means.  I notice that on page one, it says

it covers all "1971/" models.  Hmmm... couldn't decide what year to end?



As far as Shane's cat goes, maybe it's "green" as opposed to "lime" and

"medium green".



Re: BRG - as any proper enthousiast knows, BRG is so dark as to be

indistinguishable from black in the feeble light cast by a Lucas lightbulb. :-)
