Hi guys, just looking to see if anyone would know if the paint on this mini is a standard colour or not. I think the shell is a very early 850 yma2s1.

Going through some pics i have and can only see the white undercoat and pinkish,purple paint on it.

thanks.

Looks a little like Aubergine which was a mini K colour from memory?

One of the minis on the front of the Gregory's Mini Manual is one of these.

The other is an equally regrettable green....

i (I mean my girlfriend :oops: ) have a 73 clubman. It is pink. - Locomotive Pink - which was standard. However the paint badge has been riped off the car so I can't give you information on that.
