What's my colour?
I know it's always difficult to guess colour in photos...........but any ideas would be great, thanks. Front wings I got it wrong (Rover GR6), too dark and a greeny tinge. 

That's strange R2, the damage doesn't look so bad from here!

Re: What's my colour?
That could be "Smoke Grey".

Re: What's my colour?

Re: What's my colour?
It's date of registration was 2nd Jan 1960, so I'm guessing that it was manufactured some time in '59.ASL642 wrote:it rather depends on what year the car was manufactured .

Re: What's my colour?
My guess is Frilford Grey which according to "Original Morris Minor" was available from Jan '59 to July '60.
I had one registered in May '60 (390 UXN - where are you?) and that was Frilford.

Re: What's my colour?
Roy, It looks like you may be correct. Reviewing the pictures, this may be the answer (I have a Calendon Grey car in my sig).bmcecosse wrote:Looks like dull Clarendon Grey to me !
I did own a "light blue" Traveller in the late 1970's early 1980's that happened to be Smoke Grey.

Re: What's my colour?
I agree it looks like a grey especially if the red interior is original. Smoke Grey would have had a pale blue one (although interior could have been changed)
