Early 60's Mk1 Irish assembled cars
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 12:06 am
Hi, is there anyone here that might own an early 60's Mk1 Saloon?
I am in the process of restoring an early 60's Irish assembled Austin Min1 (1963) and I am trying to identify the Body Colour, i.e Tweed grey or Cumulus Grey etc etc. I have looked at all the various Colour Charts on the Internet and conclude that its probably Yukon Grey or Tweed Grey. I understand with the english cars that the body colour or code could have been stamped in potentially one of several different places from the front panel to the floor and several other places.
Does anyone know where one might look on an early 60's car for the body colour stamp/pressing, i.e does anyone have a full list of the places on the body the code might have been stamped or pressed?
Also, was this done on Irish cars also and was the location the same?
Thanks,
Brian
I have images of the colour but they are not jpeg and i am unable to load them here as it says the file extension is not allowed, i can e mail them to anyone who might be able to upload them
