Hi, I bought a nice red Minor imported from Denmark. Also the interieur is red.
After the paperwork the car was first registered 20.03.1962.
It is a Minor 1000 with a 1100cc engine installed.
Car ident number is: M/A 2S3 DL 941819
One of the reason why I bought this car is the nice red body color combined with red interieur. I haven't seen such a red Minor till now.
To me it looks not that the body color was repainted in the past, so I assume it is the original body color.
Could somebody tell me if there was a factory produced red body color for my type Minor?
For the restoration I would be interested to know what kind of red it is.
Cheers Ralf
Is my Minor in original Red body color?

Royal Mail vans were in similar colour (Post Office Red) but I dont think it would be a standard colour for any saloons

Search for heritage certificate Grayson. If you supply the car number and purchase the certificate, then it will give you production data including the original colour.
