I have a similar dilemma,

Love the inca yellow long term, but just want a different colour in between.

My only solution, vynil wrap the car, unfortunately has to wait till bodywork is sorted.

Maybe as it's a late car, a late colour perhaps?

White, inca, carmine, pageant, vermillion, brooklands..can't think of any others..

What colour is the interior? Black, chestnut or biscuit?

Totally agree with you that magenta is a lovely colour. :)

Just remembered my favourite green.. Emerald. Though that is an early colour.. Come to think of it, was it ever put on a sprint from the factory?

It was on the 1500FWD but don't ever recall seeing a Sprint in emerald. Sandglow is a late colour ;)

Open a poll. "If I were to respray my late Sprint in a late Dolomite colour, which one would you choose?" Of course you'll need to list your preferred options.
Don't list sandglow :lol:

The interior at the moment is dark brown (Chestnut?) but we did keep the black interior of the 1850 before it was scrapped so there is a choice

If we do go down the colour change route then I would like to do it a colour available for that car at that time

I always thought our 1850 was Pimento, but it could have been vermillion come to think of it, or even flamenco, it was 'S' reg

Will know more when I strip it off a bit get a good look at the current state of it next year will post up some photos then too

Didn't think of wrapping it.....hmmmm........ Now should I go gold or silver? :lol:

Rare indeed I think Justyn, from memory
I have seen only one, it was M reg, the late Brian Kitley used it on a Club Triumph RBRR (in 2000 or 2002 I think).

It was sold to someone who did use this forum, Tin Ganting?
Turned it was a resell into an Emerald 1850, he found an incriminating photo both the two Emerald cars side by side.
(I did a quick search but can't seem to find that thread I'm afraid, some of his posts were, how I shall I put it, lively :shock: ).

I'd call both of those intermediate colours, replaced by Pageant and Vermillion respectively
