i have the same colour and needed a new wing but unfortunatly i only found 2 and they wereboth rotten
Had to settle for a white one.. so i imagine quite rare

Malachite is a mineral , my dad used to bring it home when he worked in the copper mines in Zambia!!
Useless fact about Malachite!!
you car's colour could also be described as copper carbonite - which also sounds cool!!

Malachite green was the chosen colour of all Southern Railway vehicles between wwI/II so somebody liked it, for steam engines and general old-school railway stuff.bobbin1982 wrote:i think i have rare wheels too lol

That probably hasn't elevated it's coolness...
