Comparison of whites

Post by lewisrh »

Hi, We are looking at changing the colour of our 2 door saloon from Trafalgar blue to white.
We are still debating old english or Snowberry. Does any one have pictures of either colour for us to ccompare please?

There is a colour chart somewhere. Snowberry is a glaring bright white and OEW is a creamy colour and in my view MUCH nicer to behold !!

Old English hands down. More so if it is a traveller.

Out of interest, why do you want to change the colour?

If you take a look at the home page it features my Snowberry White Traveller. I prefer this shade to OEW but, of course, I'm biased!!! :D

Hi LousieM...why change the colour, well I Trafalgar blue has always been my favourite, and I went looking for a 2 door blue saloon. Having worked on it for the last 2.5 years (yes its taken that long) maybe I am bored with the blue.
The car was bought aquired ( was actually given it by my boss who need rid of it, just happened to be what I was looking for), for my wifes 40th birthday. I promised to replace the one we had when the kids were little and were forced to sell, 20 years on I managed to get one, now 4 years too late we should have Morris back on the road!
I have resisted changing colour for so long but white has caught my eye...just need to make it sure its right!
