Willow Green (11573)?
Shale Green (10329)?
Mist Green (10330)? Maybe too light

Is it the light or is the interior a different colour to the exterior?

Because it is a 1970 car and would never have had an ID plate. :wink:
Maybe it still has the foil sticker but most of them don't any more.

This one is in that category, it doesn't have the sticker which is why I am asking.

The list of 1970 colours according to Dulux were...

Amber
Baltic Blue
Bordeaux
Cadet Blue
Calypso Primrose
Camino Gold
Connaught Green
Crystal White
Damask Red
Damson Purple
Pacific Green
Riviera Blue
Royal Purple
Stella Blue
Sugar Cane
Tamarisk Green
Windsor Green

Take away all the ones that it can't be and it does not leave very many. :lol:

Looking at the photos I would guess Sugar Cane. But I am only looking at a rough photo on a rough monitor with rough eyes.

Not sugar cane. I thought we had determined the colour but cant find any record of it. This might help
