Can anyone help out with pictures of a 67/68 in Special Burgundy? I would like to see what the original colour of my mini should look like.

Well the boss wants to see, so she can decide if it stays red or goes back to original :lol:

cheers,

CJ

Look to be honest when I first saw photos of my car before I bought it I thought yuk. Nearly didn't look at it.

When I saw it in the flesh, ...fell in love.

It's a hard colour to capture in a photo, and it can look different in different lights and angles too. As you can see from these pics.

There's quite few about up here. Seems to have been reasonably popular colour.

PM sent.

Very nice, the boss will be impressed. Think she will like that better than the red it currently is.

Actually as I explained in my post the colour looks different depending in the angle and light.

Those photos of Morris1100's car are just from a bad angle.

:D
