Harvest gold i think

I love the 70's colours they went so out of fashion for a long time, but they seem to have appeal again

Yes my thought too, had a friend, with a 73 Mini 1000, and it was Harvest gold - SOO right on a Mini 8-)

Sweden now have an annual car show, especially for 70ies cars, in original colours 8-)
I saw an article, with pictures, from one of these shows, there were some "outlandish" colours, to be seen ;)

yes may well be tundra, after my post i had second thought's i googled "harvest gold mini" on google images,
there are a few pics that do look like the car above.

But not convinced i am sure harvest gold was a bit more yellow, it was one of the first cars i ever painted M reg clubman estate.
