How about Maroon, RD23. A nice 60's colour, not often seen.

This has got to be a definate - just the red without the silver roof. (I believe it was Aston Martin Dubonet Red).

Black, always looks menacing on a Mini + hides the shut lines for a seamless look.

Thanks Ted! I see that green is big in Japan. My preference up till today is to BMC Willow Green (a Mini Van colour!)... possibly with a Maroon roof! Will see you next week, mate, warn Al of my arrival!
