Morris Minor Owners Club

I am interested in finding out exactly what colours these rare little beasties were produced in.
As far as I can find out officially the colours were limited to; Black, early Maroon, the rare Romain Green and a variation of Grey.
However I have seen several photos in the owners magazine of them in a deepish red which is definitely not faded Marooon.

Anyone have knowledge of what this colour was? Were there any other shades not listed officially yet produced?

Thanks in advance

From the potteries spec list the MM from Dec 1948 to June 1950 had a maroon option.
In Feb 1953 only, approx 400 cars were painted in maroon.
From Dec 1967 until July 1969 'maroon B' was offered as an option on travellers. I'm sure I have seen a maroon saloon from that era, but maybe it was a later colour change.

The followng colours were used on lowlight Series MMs. Most colours were changed every two years until 1960 when changes were less frequent
Black 1948 - 1971
Platinum Grey 1948 - 1950
Romain Green 1948 - 1950
Maroon A 1948 - 1950, 1953
Mist Green 1950 - 1952
Gascoyn Grey 1950 - 1952
Thames Blue 1950 - 1952

yes apparently it turned to rather rat look pink!

do you guys still find formulation for these colours I managed to find Thames Blue lately

Most suppliers have torn up their formulae, the only way is to match the chart against a hidden preserved patch of paint in the car, even then there will be a difference between cellulose and two pack

Thank you for your replies.

Maybe was it just the Australian market that did red?
I've seen photos in 2010 2011 of a red MM tourer down under.
I am stripping one back to bare metal and did find some deep blue in the roof guttering.
I didn't realise they were made in this shade.
