It's just a very old and faded Britpart, gone the same way as the bulkhead chassis number plates used to fade.

Hi,

Maybe it's some sort of color coding at Quality Control? Or maybe it's a version of the old joke (clean) about the two homesick defectors from an oppressive regime.

Let me know if you haven't heard it.

I think I read on the old forum that Britpart had a better quality parts they sold to trade/garages ???
Could this be one that escaped to a internet customer?
The box contained a service filter kit for a TD5 and I ordered what was called to be OE quality parts parts, but as seen the box says Britpart
