    Default Avocado 51

    Hi folks,

    I notice that in the Shepherd opus there is a MkIII aero in avocado green. I was wondering if anybody had ever seen an example? I have seen a 45 in that shade. I think I may be wondering because it would have matched the bathroom suite in my childhood home!

    Thanks,

    Ralf
