my original 64 engine has the light green metallic paint i believe the pommy crate engines for the earlier 850's had dark green. chuck up your engine number and we can prolly tell you what colour its supposed to be. |

i have 2 colours so far - both Austin engines This colour is the same as BMC Green produced by POR 15 www.por15.com.au supplied by PPC (Permenant Painted Coatings Pty Ltd,Warriewood NSW) Quality engine paint but bloody expensive. 
By Jas0n This colour is the same as paint found on timing cover of AUS built Morris 850 im working on. 
By Jas0n Parts just sprayed with BMC Green 
By Jas0n Note - the good side with no runs

Thanks Grey 64 - that colour seems lighter again - is your 850 Aussie built ? |

Info from AWOODY (Cheers mate) 1 British standard middle bronze green BS223 2 Dark bronze green BS 381c for a darker finish 
By Jas0n Standard British Green looks the go for my 850 - will have to respray those bits. Apparently English built Morris Mini didnt have the gearbox sprayed green (left as unpainted alloy) and the Aussie built 850's sprayed both engine and gearbox. |

8Y/U/H2152 thanks Cool , an early Australian assembled engine , your body number would be around 43,000 (up to 45,000 , they switched between 8AM and 8YUH engines a bit through there) wouldn't it ? |
