Hi,

Does anyone know what the pastel green Cooper S colour is called? I think they used it in 1970. Anyone got a picky? :wink:

Also was this only used with a white roof or has anyone seen a solid colour one?

Cheers

you're probably thinking Tamarisk Green, and they would have come with and without a white roof... but mostly without, being such a light colour

sorry, don't have any pics, lovely colour tho

when I bought my S, I had the choice between a red/white (yuk), a tamarisk green, or camino gold.... the green one was nice, but I made the right choice

Great work Simon!

Hey, while I am picking your brains on Mk2's....does the colour appear on the plate? How do you know if the colour is correct for the car?

Thanks in advance! :lol:

You have just brought back a childhood memory. I'd forgotten about it, havent had it since my Mum passed away many years ago. And now I want some.

Must see if I can find a recipe.....

Mk2s had a paint sticker. The compliance plates (Dec 69 on) don't list the colour.
