Ok so the plate near battery says Paint CML and Trim C11, But I presume this is the original colour not what it is now unless plate has been changed?

1978 Triumph Dolomite Sprint (project thread)
1966 Volkswagen 1300 (project thread)
1962 Austin Mini (project)
1962 MGA 1600 Mark II

I know what you mean Mart...

ERO once sported a vermillion bonnet, which went well with the pimento wings and flamenco rest. You had to look hard to notice...
The odd thing is I cant even remember why it had the vermillion bonnet for a while. The original is back on now...

Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.
