Morris Minor Owners Club

Could someone post a picture of a Mist Green MM. I'm wondering what in fact this color is that I have on this 51 MM that I'm getting. If there is a Mist Green MM out there I might be able to compare.

Thanks again all!!!

Some useful information for you here - http://www.potteries.mmoc.org.uk/Identify.htm although sadly no paint colours shown. And here too - with paint code shown but still no colour ! http://www.minormania.com/feature.php?catid=-1&id=1994
Although this shows a model car - it's to be hoped the colour is correct! http://www.studiotenn.co.uk/LDM36X-REVIEW.html

Probably not the best pic, but you get the idea. Ignore the primer on the front wings, but the rest of it is mist green.

there's a couple in this gallery.

Thanks you guys! This gives me a healthier idea what it looks like. At some point in this MM's life somebody painted it a bit darker and I only have a faded version of the paint color in the engine compartment.

Thanks again, it's much appreciated!

Try under the head liner. There should be enough overspray along the edges and it was protected from the sunlight.

Mist green was used from mid 1950 to mid 1952 when it was replaced by Empire Green. The ICI paint colour code is 2383.
If you go to the Series MM website, Rally Pictures, click on Nat. Rally 2003 then go to page 2, there are some photos of a 1951 Mist Green Series MM.
There are also pictures in "Original Morris Minor" by Ray Newell, pages 19 & 20.
