Which one? Oh, all of them, OK...
What is a flitch? Isn't it the little golden thing in they chase in Quidditch?

The upright panels either side of the engine bay - or a slab of wood, or a side of bacon

Thats normal when you take the wing of a Minor- still needs to be repaired but a lot of cars are out there running around with inner wings in a simmilar state.
All repairable, all panels available- keep up the good work!

Cheers John,
After spending some time with the car this weekend and looking around on here I'm 100% happy that most things are doable with a bit of time and patience.
Thanks so much for your encouragement

Looks very much like Henley Blue, as used by Austin-Rover in the late 80's, early 90's...
A similar colour used on the Minor was Clipper Blue, but I think the shade on Bluey is a bit too bright to be that.
