the paint code for limeflower is blvc 20. only used on the traveller 1970 to 71, and later bl cars. i think the third letter in the chassis number will be f a biege. g is a brown car

I think it's probably Limeflower which has gone a bit flat (and covered with dust).

Jeedee - what is the chassis no (from the Morris plate on the firewall).
I bet it will be seven digits starting 1,2xx,xxx.

You can tell the paint colour from the chassis number on the early plates ('52 to '58 - starting F or O ). If you have the later type (starting MA), there is no colour info.
