John, I’m not even a Counties owner but I’ll try and answer your question based on the A30. The A30 was also introduced in Coronation colours (Windsor Grey, Buckingham Green etc) in April 1953 and ran through to October 1953. Perhaps the 2 tone paintwork is a later addition. Later A30s could be ordered with a different colour roof, as to the Queen receiving a car I don’t know. Incidentally the yahoo austin counties site is quite active!
