    "Dieser Wagen ist möglicherweise der älteste Mk VII weltweit, der überlebt hat. Ganz sicher ist es der älteste Mk VII in der Schweiz. Er wurde ursprünglich ausgeliefert vom Schweizerischen Welschland Importeur für Jaguar, der Garage Claparède. Sein Innenraum wird im Heritage Zertifikat mit blau beschrieben, was aus heutiger Sicht, eher als hellblau beschrieben werden kann. Die Aussenfarbe war ursprünglich das extrem seltene twighlight blue, das nur kurz, noch vor der Umstellung auf Thermoacryl, verwendet wurde. Der Wagen wurde schon vor langer Zeit auf gebräuchlicheres schwarz umlackiert. Als ursprünglicher Schweizer Wagen befindet sich das Auto trotz seines Alters in erstaunlich gutem Zustand. Wobei in Betracht gezogen werden muss, dass der Zahn der Zeit am Leder genagt hat und daher Teile davon ersetzt worden sind. Wunderschön restauriert worden ist das Zierholz. In den letzten 10 Jahren wurden Arbeiten über fast Fr. 60'000 ausgeführt, was aus der umfangreichen Dokumentation zu entnehmen ist."

    If JDHT says "Blue" interior and that is original I think we can call it "light". The MKVII Brochure also calls this just "Blue" but JDHT also called "Pale Blue" "Blue" but it is definitely a different colour and alhtough the name would imply the other way round, "Pale Blue" is actually more blue and saturated, this "Blue" is extremely light and grey.

    Just trying to figure out the different "blues". :)

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
