Good morning
Trying to find the colour of Winnie - she’s had paint over the years being 64 years old but struggling with which grey she might be?

Photos often distort the actual colour - and BMC did produce at least 50 shades of grey :lol: But I reckon it'll be either Clarendon Grey (Code GR6) or, perhaps more likely, Frilford Grey (GR5), both of which were used on the Minor 1000 in the late 1950s and are rather similar.

That will depend on when in 1959 each car was built as the design changed around March of that year.
