Hi everyone my name is Karla and I have just purchased a 1962 Morris Minor 1000. My intent is to restore it but I have a wee dilemma...it is currently poo brown and although I like the colour I can't find any images to suggest that this was an original Morris colour...it does not look as if the car has been repainted this colour and I really want to keep it as original as possible...anyone out there know anything on this??!!!

Is it Rose Taupe? That's a sort of browny-grey colour. I dare say someone on here will be along with a photo, but if not, have a look in the custom & modified section and see if you can find a pic of martinb's car, it's in his sig.

Here you go! Vikki = 1962 Rose Taupe Traveller. You should have a Tartan Red interior and maroon coloured carpet.

It's sounding like the rose taupe, and it does have the red interior and maroon carpet!!
Thanks so much for the responses!! Looks like Oscar will be staying brown!!!
