Is my Minor in original Red body color?

Hi, I bought a nice red Minor imported from Denmark. Also the interieur is red.
After the paperwork the car was first registered 20.03.1962.
It is a Minor 1000 with a 1100cc engine installed.
Car ident number is: M/A 2S3 DL 941819
One of the reason why I bought this car is the nice red body color combined with red interieur. I haven't seen such a red Minor till now.
To me it looks not that the body color was repainted in the past, so I assume it is the original body color.
Could somebody tell me if there was a factory produced red body color for my type Minor?
For the restoration I would be interested to know what kind of red it is.
Cheers Ralf
