Hi everyone
Does anyone know what shade of green for my 1957 morris minor 2 door interior is?
Trying to buy some door card but unsure of colour.
It's black by the way
Thanks

According to the info from the Potteries Branch
http://potteries.mmoc.org.uk/Identification.htm a 1957 with Black paintwork had 3 choices. Grey, Red or Green. Unfortunately it doesn't state which shade of Green.

I think it might be sage green, but just need some confirmation unfortunately the seat covers have faded as their original

It could be Suede Green as used on some Series 2s?

Could be, very difficult to decide which it is as its a strange year, been looking at parts websites but can't seem to buy all of the Truman to match like the scuttle panels in the right colour.

I don't think any of the suppliers sell these colours any longer. You may be able to get it as a special commission from Newton Commercial, but it'll cost! Porcelain green would be the best choice from off the peg colours now available (in the right seat design to suit the year of the car)

Pick a bit that has been tucked away from the light if you are going to try and get it matched.
Forgive me if this is suggesting egg sucking technique to my ancestors
