Anyone know the name/code of this colour?
I heard that its unobtainium in pressure pack.

Its not the flat green colour - its the metallic one.
As seen in many COOPER S'. :lol:

I think the almighty doc has his engine painted in this colour.

I can help
Its a white Knight pressure pack can and the clour is called Alpine Green - readily available over the counter and about as close as you can get to the original Cooper colour.

That is alpine green.

The colour i'm thinking of is a bit lighter and is metallic.

This is Cooper S Metallic Green, as sold by Mini Car Clinic Padstow (or whatever their name is this week)
p/no MINI346
$40/L tin.
This pic here is our 1293A+, but it's a pretty good match to my `original paint' MK2 motor.. but it looks dark in this pic.

<edit> same paint, on my 1360 in Ha-ha.. more lifelike pic.
