The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

I could not decide where to post this topic, could have been "Dolomite Related", "General Chat", "Restoration Projects", but it has been a bit slow here so what the heck.

This is possibly a question for the anoraks.

What was the "Official Colours" used on the factory race cars? I know that they were White/Blue/Red, but does anyone know what shade of White/Red/Blue was used. The Dolomite White (19) is very cream in colour, but the factory white seemed brighter, so does anyone know the answer??

Thanks

Mark

Hello, Tahitisprint in Holland has the colour codes. Send him a PM to him and he will mail you.

Yes I have a Leyland ST document with the Leyland International Motor Sport Livery, printed by The Nuffield Press (# 91445).

Colours are stated as follows:

WHITE - Brilliant White
RED - Signal Red 537/BS381/C
BLUE - Aircraft Blue108/BS381/C

I can't recognize the colournumbers as Triumph colournumbers, but hope this is of help to you

Cheers,

Just stumbled across this, and this thread sprang to mind:

That's the one Tahiti Sprint has also from Julian. The original colours.
