Here is a photo of it lads if it's any help. If Mark doesn't know this one, I would imagine your best bet would be to get a colour match from an original Speedwell sticker or literature.

Still have not found the correct colour someone must know, also looking for original speedwell throttle pedal, found all the speedwell gauges and tacho in speedwell display unit they look very nice cheers Brian.

Hi Bri,

I don't know the answer to your question I'm afraid. I have some samples of original Speedwell items with yellow paint on them I when I do the Speedwell 1300TC I will match to one of these, I can send you something to match from if you'd like. Please PM me.

No worries, when you decide on a shade can you let me know. We might as well use the same colour on both cars.
