MK1 body colours and trim colours

Post by colinandvenie »

Hey guys, is there such a list on the forum??? I am interested in the body colour of a MK1 850 with light blue and fleck upholstery, with light blue carpet. I am not sure whether the paint is original colour,
Cheers

Hi Colin,

Our cars in NZ (the ones built here, not the imported Coopers, autos, travellers etc) were painted with locally sourced colours, so the UK info on this is of little use unfortunately.
My CKD 850 for instance is Dulon "Spruce Green" as far as we can tell, which I don't think was available in the UK?

Most colour / trim combinations are given on the back of the brochure for the model in question. As has been pointed out though, this is only applicable to UK built models.

A comprehensive list of this type would be a good addition in the future.
