I for some reason thought that colour was called Aconite. From searching around sites it's described as "easily confused with black tulip". Maybe Aconite wasn't used on mini's?

aconite was used, but with navy or sorrel trim
black tulip was used geranium or ochre trim - so must be the one in the photo the op showed?

Sorry Brook, couldn`t find a pic of her on my photobucket at the moment....how about a nice Citron Yellow Jubilee TC or a Blaze TC Coupe
not mine but i restored the body for him a couple of years back
(both mk1 models of course, being a mk1 forum i think they should pass muster )
