Responsibility details are not available.
BT18 Green is a green shade from the Number Five line. The letters BT in the name belong to the type marking of the Brabham stable and the eighteen to a particular Formula 2 single-seater. The green here therefore follows on from the British racing tradition rather than from the camouflage or military tones that often hide under the same word.
The Brabham BT18 was a car of a junior formula class of the middle of the 1960s and in the 1966 season it was among the utterly dominant machines of the European Formula 2 championship, as the cars of the stable took victory after victory at the time. The body is made up of a slim hull with exposed suspension, so the colored surface takes up mainly the nose and the tank cover, and the rest of the car is machinery. A lighter stripe ran across the green, which in period photographs visually separates the nose from the rest of the body.
It will be appreciated by modelers of historic racing cars and by anyone looking for a green with a clearly given subject instead of a general bottle green. The BT abbreviation carries the initial letters of the names of the founder of the stable and of its chief designer. Given that the green takes up only part of a single-seater of that time, a builder usually gets by with a smaller area and handles the rest with metallic and dark tones.
