Calling all Almond Green Traveller 1000 owners

Post by ndevans »

What colour is your coachline? Mine (late 1968) is gold. Don't think I've seen any others with a gold coachline. cheers, Neil. :D

Coach line

Post by Willie »

According to the 'bible' your Traveller should have a Porcelain Green
coach line. There was a Gold coach line on the Connaught Green models but this came after your year.

Which bible is that? I would be interested to know what colour the coachline for a Clipper blue Traveller should be. Mine has been messed about with over the years, but maybe it has some original features...

Hermione has no coachline, but I'll back Willie up in his assertion that porcelain green (matching the interior) is the right colour.

Thanks Onne. Just checked, I think you are right, but I prefer to think of it as silver.

Yes, very similar to your wheels I think.

Thanks for the replies. I think I've seen Porcelain Green as the correct colour for an Almond Green car somewhere on the internet. Anyway I'm keeping mine gold-I think it looks good against the green.
cheers, Neil
