[xpress]

BRO, I am in halfords. Is my car old English white? It's a 1968 they have arrum white old English and arum white and leyland white and white, with The latter listed for morris trav. In my folder I have an order for old English white .. any ideas?

Old english white was discontinued as a body colour in January '68 & snowberry white was used from October '67 so your car could be either of these (looks more like snowberry though). What colour interior do you have? OEW cars had a red interior and snowberry white had black.

Old english white is a creamier colour than snowberry, and I think arum white is quite a good match for OEW, but not identical. Why not get your paint from a Minor supplier to guarantee a better match? Of course your car may have been resprayed a non-standard colour at some point and may not be either of these colours! The only way to get a really good match would be to take a sample of the paint (eg glove box door) to a company which mixes auto paint.

If you are still in halfords, buy Snowberry white.
