Ice blue defo.

I would say its wedgewood Ken. To the best of my knowledge ice blue was never offered on the 1300FWD but was on the 1500.

Yes, the stump is a servo take off.

The wedgewood car is a very early one with the Triumph letters individually on the boot lid as opposed to a badge. It means it is a '66 or earlier.

Cheers Martin, I think it is narrowed down between Wedgewood and Dolphin Grey. I will ask at the local paint shop if they could do a sample of each and then compare. Probably the only real way.

I think I've hijacked poor Levi's thread enough now. I have started a resto thread for any further thoughts and progress.

All your's again Dan

Ken

Just a quick note to say I'm keeping the old girl a bit longer, thanks to Stewart (covcourier) shifting her to Northampton for me at a ridiculously fair price, The man is a LEGEND! Thoroughly decent chap, VERY highly recommended to anyone who needs their car shifting.

Immediate plans are to fit a new fuel line to get her running, carb filter, fit the doughnuts and new discbrakes and pads up front, clean out the rear drums and maybe replace the shoes, springs etc.

Mechanically then she'll probably be good to go, apart from the inevitable fine fettling and awkward diagnosing of small problems!

Then, with the help of Ken (I say help, he's the one doing most of the work, bless him) repair the offside sill, 'mickey mouse' ear and bolt on a new (ish) wing. Then paint, I can do that bit. I think.

Sounds a lot, but its not much really, at the moment, its all about funds to do it...
