Yeah, I had to put them on as I couldn't find any pictures of any cars in those colours (other than Rheims) to get a good idea of what they look like. I am fortunate to have access to an early 70's BALM Paints book with the DULON paint chips for reference so the colours look pretty close to what is in the book.

Bottom left green is nice, would do that with white wheels, bonnet stripes and interior would make it look old school cool. Might do that to my van actually

Cool, we might see some nearly defunct colours making a come back I am finding the choice from the old school colours a hard one for the van, there are some really cool ones that I just don't see around anymore but I only have one van

VW had that an option on the Golf Harleqin

This is Derreck...Porcelain Green


This Is Pyles....Astro Grey

Wow they both look really great. The Porcelain green looks very much how I pictured a working van of the era, a UK van by the look of the apron too. Never seen an Astro Grey one either, these older colours are hard to find even Google isn't your friend I have found when trying to source pictures. I hope my van ends up looking somewhere near as nice as one of yours. (though I don't think the harlequin pattern will cut it)

Don't worry willy, I will do my best to make sure it looks great in the end as my wife has her eye on it.........

Platinum over shadow blue. Very much an early cooper combination and still looks the K9 Spheres..
But my fav colour combination snow white, black roof red interior. Looks classy but hints at the race heritage.

Very nice colour and not many vans that I've seen done in it!

Is Speedwell Blue a British/Rover colour? I can't find it in any of my Australian book listings for BMC/Leyland colours going back from 1979 to 1958.
