What's my colour?

Post by rogerowen »

I know it's always difficult to guess colour in photos...........but any ideas would be great, thanks. Front wings I got it wrong (Rover GR6), too dark and a greeny tinge. :o

That could be "Smoke Grey".

It's date of registration was 2nd Jan 1960, so I'm guessing that it was manufactured some time in '59.

My guess is Frilford Grey which according to "Original Morris Minor" was available from Jan '59 to July '60.

I had one registered in May '60 (390 UXN - where are you?) and that was Frilford.

Roy, It looks like you may be correct. Reviewing the pictures, this may be the answer (I have a Calendon Grey car in my sig).
I did own a "light blue" Traveller in the late 1970's early 1980's that happened to be Smoke Grey.

I agree it looks like a grey especially if the red interior is original. Smoke Grey would have had a pale blue one (although interior could have been changed) :D
