Hi
I am restoring yet another! Morris which is in need of a new coat. So just wondered what the factory colours were and which one is the most desirable as i will be selling after
Thanks

Stick to the original colour as I guess you intend to sell for a profit.

Indeed, finding a Minor with its original colour is becoming more rare. All of my three are not the colour they left the factory in!

Original paintwork with patina is the most valuable and most sought after.
Personally I would rather buy a car with dull original paint work; at least you can have a considered opinion of what the metal is like underneath.
New paintwork can and may hide a multitude of sins and catch out the unsuspecting.

Ye i know what you mean but this has no colour left! It just says the standard colour was green but what type of green is it called? And the same with the wheels what colour were they called cream..?
Thanks guys

Possibly Almond Green, and Old English White wheels. If you know the chassis number you can find out the original colour.
