My guess would be Camino Gold. It was a popular early 70s colour.

Harvest gold wasn't used here, we had our own range of colours. Our colours were often a lot brighter and with more choices than the UK colours.

Braad, frustratingly, I never got the gearbox guys contact details, he's built a couple for himself and is not that interested in making them commercially.
I know he used gears and selector detent from a motorcycle, possible Honda CBR 1000.
Maybe a 'call out' on Ausmini might find him.
Cheers
