TheOthers Colours on a Snowberry White Tourer
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:00 pm
This is my first post after both joining the MMOC and acquiring my first Minor, Betsy, an April 1968 Snowberry White Tourer, in August.
Betsy has black trim and a black (non-original) hood (the Heritage certificate states Cherokee Red and Peal Grey respectively, but that doesn't worry me: I gather from Ray Newell's 'Original Morris Minor' that the official records are not always reliable for these later convertibles.
I am rather more concerned about her present white wheels and double blue coachline. My understanding is that the wheels would have originally been dark silver and the coach line a single red line in red. Am I correct, and is there a paint code for these two colours (or at least a very near match)?
Any help and guidance much appreciated.
