Hey guys just wondering what the orginal colour for my 1970 van is. Looking at the colour charts in the how too it dose not look similar to any in the 1970 charts assuming this is the original paint.

Looks like Camino gold to me. I belive it was available in 1970. Simon k on here has a mk2 s in that colour, well mostly (under all the dead bugs :))

It looks like Mist Grey, which was a 69 colour. I don't think there was a grey available in 70.

I was thinking that but then if you look at the ground it has a similar tinge to it.
I think the photo is trying to confuse us.

Is the floor or a bigger area the original colour? Get a pic of a larger area if you can.

I have just had a bit of a play around with the photo and tried to fix the colour a little, I have probably gone too far...
