If this is the car you are referring to, then I do believe the colour is Dusk Blue?

And I'm particularly interested to find out how wide his bonnet stripes are - I really like the look of them. Anyone know?
Thanks.

Cadet Blue is a '69 colour - too late for a Cooper.
The only blues I remember for Coopers (notS) were Dusk Blue, Shadow Blue and Platinum.

Dusk Blue (mixed using the original Dulux codes and colour matched to original colour on rear parcel shelf)

It's probably worth noting that Ed himself says his former Cooper was definitely Dusk Blue. I trust absolutely what he says. :)

I was lead to believe from reading the colour charts on here that Dusk blue was only used in '64. Correct??

Don't take the color chart dates as gospel, they didn't exactly throw the paint out on Dec 31 each year. :wink:
