there looks to be false bidding going on - ebay have made it very hard to spot by hiding the user ID's... but there's a giveaway with one of the bidders.

If it is OEW - was that ever used on Pick-ups as standard ?
And - ending on 1st April got anything to do with it ??

Theres a van locally that looks to be the same colour as this pickup.

Can't imagine why the paperwork isn't with the car - after all, the cost of the resto must have been eye-watering! And reserve at 'under £7000' !!

Ditto!
This would have been a kidney-sale job. If it were me I'd want to keep every bit of paperwork! The only idea I can think of is it was restored before sale rather than restored for a customer.

The colour looks like sandy beige to me, but that was only used on S11 cars. According to my trusty restoration manual the only colour available there that i don't recognize is called 'Antalop' could that be it?

I've got a copy of the traveller trim and paint charts here (copied at Gaydon on monday) - Bedouin (beige) is listed from June70 - could that be it?

Morris being ahead of the times again using a 1980's beige back in the 1970's!!

Andy I think you are right we had a branch member that had a late pick up a few years ago and that was Antelope whereas Bedoiun tends to be a little lighter, but you could also have them supplied in primer to be finished in your own shade so technically any colour could be correct for the vehicle.
