Yes. 1970 says `refinish with Spartan Super-cryl'.

I took pics just now but they are all crap in the dark, and the Clubby style clutch MC is in the way of a good look.
Will try again in daylight. :wink:

Well I took a bunch of photos of it but they are all crap, can't remember how to turn the flash off...:(
Here's the best one so far, sorry the bloody MCs are in the way.
I'll try again tomorrow..... WITHOUT flash!:lol:

What about the Dulux paint code stickers, when were they used then?
I've seen heaps of them about, but didn't think twice about them until now.

thanks for the pics everyone! Doc, Mick sent me a great sample of your sticker so i can use his. Thanks for trying tho. Simon, that might be the one i need. I have got a copy of that off a GT and wasnt sure if it would be the same as the morris.
Im not sure if the dulux ones are for clubbies??? I have a dulon one here for a clubby that im going to reproduce.
