My car is a rebodied 67 Cooper S with a morris mini k (69) body. I have been told the colour is Mist Green (tried uploading photo) but won't upload. Sounds like Parchment is what I am after. Currently has the mini k interior which is blue. Would the Mist Green car have had a "parchment interior"? Thanks "Bill B" would really appreciate contact details for your source.
The information I have may not be exactly correct: that is my "disclaimer".
But I'm happy to help you as best I can.
My 1969 Mini K (bought new) is "Willow Green". The upholstery colour is called "Parchment" in factory documents.
Before " Willow Green" the factory used a colour called "Seamist Green" which is to all intents and purposes exactly the same as "Willow Green". There are very slight formula variations that would not be noticed on a complete car respray. "Mist Green" also seems to be listed for late 1960s cars, also with Parchment upholstery.
For a colour comparison have a look at this link, especially the final photo posts to see what the colour might look like.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=82297The closest match to "Parchment" I have been able to find is from "Home Upholsterer"
https://www.homeupholsterer.com.auThe colour is called "Copra", standard grain, in a range called "Pacifica".
Read some other posts on this thread to see how you can find if this suits your needs.
I have dealt with Daley's often and they are very good, but unless you actually turn up at their store to see if their stock matches what you need, it isn't easy for 'outsiders'. as they mostly supply the trade.
Home Upholsterers seem to be more 'amateur-friendly'.
