I dunno If i'Il let you, you'll only want one in your shed then. How do I find out the colour

Think it might be.. mine are the same - and does have the Elf rear seat.... so are correct seats.

Welcome to to the Elf club !...

Yes, Kiwi Elf's had vinyl, as did some English ones here. Another thing missing from NZ cars is the vinyl on the dash rails and chrome handbrake lever. I see the car is indeed a Mk 3.

I mentioned it earlier, you must have missed it. I believe the colour is April Green but later Mk3's did get a slightly different colour with a different name. It is a New Zealand colour and very similar to UK Fiesta Yellow. Is there a paint sticker still on the car? It will be on the bulkhead under the bonnet or possibly on the back face of the fuel tank.

I have to admit i havent read this complete thread, just wanted to say I have seen a beautiful metallic blue Elf up here at Lakeside Raceway before, will have to see if I can find a pic tonight to post up

I've spent a bit of time on this and it seems it could be April Green. Dominion Motors Assembly Plant colours are mentioned by name and code only, no colour chips so it is difficult to establish the colour without mixing some. If it is April Green, it is code 47-4510. As I said, there is a chance it is something else as I have a vague recollection the pale lemon colour changed just a little at some stage during Mk3 production.

Do you think it could be fiesta yellow renamed or is it slightly different next time i'm at the paint place I'll see if they can come up with a formula usind there new worldwide, paint system

It is similar to UK Fiesta Yellow but I cannot say it is the same. I could probably get the mixing formula from a paint outfit is you want.
