I always thought it was "British Racing Green", with a black hood and interior.

Supplied from the factory in White but changed to British Racing Green when Steve McQueen acquired it in 1958... and nicknamed by him 'The Green Rat'....

Now that we've got the color question settled, how many different manufacturers have released a 1/43 scale version of the XKSS? I have AutoArt, Spot on, DM Modeles (resin). Anyone else?
