Probably the car was already green in the collection Sakespeare, from the photograph does not seem two-tone.

In the book :The Bugatti Type 57S ( Simon/Kruta):" In 1952 the car was fitted with a more modern body in the style of an Aston Martin DB2/4.In the Automobilrevue from 20 Feb.1952 there is the pictures of the body in the proccess of development. The " SC" was fitted with a new shell by the Swiss bodymaker Ghia ........When Shakespeare owned the car it was painted green and the upholstery was in a combiantion of green material and leather.....(actual picture)
I believe it finds something of more on the book:
