Teal Blue on an early March 1970 registered Mk3 (with the strange bonnet hinges where the captive nuts are in the bonnet) 998cc.

I always liked Midnight blue with a red roof picture is circa 1983, the sunroof had not long been put in (probably the worst decision for this car has been changed back to tin now)

I think the Limeflower trim was a slightly later thing, Parnell says from July 70 on the S so black would be correct or navy for an early 70?

All 1969 and 1970 built 1275GTs had a black interior. Coloured interiors came in in 1971 - presumably as a de-rationalisation measure designed to make the car less profitable through a proliferation of stock keeping units.....
