Very late model Sprint

[Mahesh]

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.

Wrap it in time for Christmas?

Apologies for my spelling, should be vinyl.

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

Here you are and the best green that suits a sprint.

Late Dolomite colour for me is vermillion if sticking to the colours used, as a non dolomite but other triumph colour i like java green.

Tahiti Blue and Flamenco Red are also late colours.

I never new Tahiti and Flamenco were that late.. Well well, we learn everyday.

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?

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 ).

Steve

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

The Sprint destroyed by Top Gear was Emerald with grey interior.

Whatever happened to that car? Wasn't there a rumour is was being restored?

[Mahesh]

I thought it was getting a full nut and bolt restoration
