Hi All, As the title suggests I'm wondering what colour the switch panel in my 61 should be. Ian |

Until you get a better answer, in the later models (mine is 68) it is the same colour as the wheels, silver birch metallic. Not sure for 61 but you will get a correct answer soon. If it is already silver then I would think that should be right but don't paint it that colour on my advice. Not much help I know but it will create some discussion. Cheers. |

I think it should be white on the early cars, maybe Old English White like on the UK Minis. They went to Silver Birch Metallic later. Its listed as a 1963 colour on the online charts. Tim |

Thanks Gents, It looks closer to white than silver, so I'll use the OEW I have for the wheels. Ian |

If its an early 61 car they are painted crinkle black, same as the cardboard speedo housing. |

It's a nov 61 I believe. Got black kick panel, which I'm still chasing if anyone has a set (thanks Bruce for the one thru the week). The switch panel looks original and is whitish, the speedo and surround I don't think are original, the speedo has tents on it not just miles. Ian |
