Thanks D-Type for this explanation. I even wasn't aware of different types of regulations for those rally events.

Does anyone know the color of this 203 prototype?. I'm modifying a peugeot 203 coupe 1:43 scale to make this car in the 1956 Monte Carlo rally version, and though I think it will be light gray, I'm not really sure. Thanks

It looks as if it's two colours: the roof, door pillars and about 2 inches below the windows look a lighter colour than the bonnet, wings and boot. There's a visible line of delineation in some of the photos.
I can see where you're coming from with the light grey suggestion. As far as I can remember, in the mid-fifties all Peugeots, 203 and 40s, saloons, vans, pickups, were light grey. Rather like the Model T Ford: "Any colour you like so long as it's black".
But as this car has been rebodied it could be any colour. I would do the top half "Peugeot light grey" and the bottom either a darker grey or a mid blue. I doubt it would have been green, but don't know why, and other colours wouldn't look right with the grey.
