Don Peter and List, As far as I know there is not "one" british racing green, but hundred variations of it. Especially all the different classic british car manufacturerers had their own kind of racing green. I just attended a vintage car rallye as speaker and saw ten different britsh racing green cars (among them a Jag E-type and a Austin Healy Sprite MkIII and a MG B) not two of them were the same tone of green. Just take whatever looks the best or the closest to what you personally consider racing green.

Best source would be a Jag dealership.
But Raleigh didn't use this colour on their lightweights except maybe for the Raleigh Record ToB frameset of the early '60s. There was a Raleigh Green, similar in hue, that was used on their better roadster models. Bronze Green was the green most associated with the International and that went through more changes in tone and tint than Liz Taylor has had husbands. It's more of a Ford Pinto lime green. Or was at one point.
