YES BUT NEAD TO SELL BY BUS FIRST

Here are two Standard ovals, the one on the left being definitely of the same era as yours. What colour is yours going to be (or meant to be)?
I think you should have a thin white waistline as period photos of standard ovals seem to suggest.  8400.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Waist line... 😃  8401.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

thanks for the photos.my car was green under the black that was put on in 1967.the car is exarmy.the fuel tank was yellow as were the weel hubs.i had some paint mached.but when i got it on i was the rong colour green.so not very happy with the colour.  8425.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

waist line.do you no how wide the line stud be.do you think 4mm is about right.

It would be interesting to know if this was a US army or British army car.
Did you get a birth certificate from Wolfsburg?
There are many shades of green which were used by both countries.
When I was going to think about repainting my 1948 British army car, I had found a company in the North of England which supplied all correct formulas for both UK and US army vehicles. They even send you a sample on a metal plate if you ask for one.
I haven't got their address and I can't remember what they'e called but the Museum of Army Transport up in Yorkshire (I think!) gave it to me so it should be easy to find.
What a great fascinating car you have! Would love to see it on the road soon.
In your case, there should be no white waistline as it's not a civilian car. 😃

😃 sorry bean buzzy.i only live a fie miles from Beverly.the museum is now closed.thanks anyway.i think that the car is British army .it was in ported 1966. it had 1200 lights fitted.the chap i bort it from bort it in 1967.painted it black and strapped his motorbike to the back.he used to go grass track raising.with his bike.
