Came across a colour combination for a 997 Cooper the other day (porcelain Green/Moss green) which I hadn't come across before.

I then thought I should document the other colour combinations for 997 CoopersI have owned or seen. Not sure of the Shadow Blue/Dusk Blue combination but have seen 1 Cooper with this or similar combination.
By the way I have owned Coopers with 4 of these combinations.

Apart from all White or all Black can anyone identify other colour combinations for 997 Coopers? I will add them to the graphic below.
Thanks

Pretty sure a member here has one in Osmond Green/Saxon Green.
My fave colour for a 997.

I am pretty sure my 997 I had back in the 60's was also
Shadow Blue/Nurburg White unfortunately I only have black and white pics of it, traded it in on a brand new 1969 Cooper S.

Thanks for that chart - was just going to repaint the roof white as done by the PO but like the Shadow Blue/Platinum combo. Can anyone post a pic of this combo?

Toga white with a Dream Blue roof was a Cooper colour scheme. However, I cannot remember whether it was 998 only or also appeared on the 997.

Now that you remind me, I have seen this colour combination on a Cooper. Pretty sure it is a later 998 colour combination. Late 1964-65.
I will add to the chart though as it will be nice ti also list 998 Cooper colours as well.
