well after much deliberation i have decided tweed grey it is with old english white roof and colour coded dash rail,many thanks for the help ,keep an eye on "our projects" for the reults

If you are going to restore it, the roof should be grey, too. As far as I know, the only country that offered Estates in two colours was South Africa. And it will look better in all grey.

thanks for the reply i think im gonna paint the roof white ,just like the contrast ,i have no intention of selling the vehicle,some purists will frown at it ,but as the engine is going to be changed for a downton unit its a little too late but really appreciate the feed back,will keep you posted
