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?
