Hi
I have finally come to a decision and consequently Morris is going to a restorer on Monday to be stripped back, primed and resprayed, inside and out. So my question is, what colour should I use? He is a dark green at the moment, and the body letter suggests that he was a mid or empire green originally. Can someone tell me how to put up photos? I don't think that the current green is original, but I like it, so I'll only change if he's going to be even prettier than he is now. Where can I find a good picture of an empire green morris?
Additional info:
Morris has a tan interior, which isn't original either I suspect!
He is a 1953 four door saloon, overhead valve engine.

If he was an empire green 4 door saloon made in 1953 then the chassis number should start with: FAE
Is this what yours starts with?
Also, the only original green colour on 1953 cars was Empire green.
This car is Empire green:
