Indeed very nice looking car, from the photo it doesn't look like she needs any work at all.

i think it its teal blue to be honest but will probably be resprayed in trafalgar blue

Post by **Sidney'61** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 2:33 pm

It looks like trafalgar blue to me, teal blue is brighter.
Why is the indicator stalk on the left?

Post by **ASL642** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 3:57 pm

Agree it's Trafalgar Blue - owned by a left handed person?

Post by **mmjosh** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 4:47 pm

its darker than trafalgar blue because the dash is trafalgar blue and i have no idea why the indicator stalk is on the left

Post by **Sidney'61** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:21 pm

There were two different shades of trafalgar blue used on the minor, the later one (1968 onwards) was lighter, so it's possible it was originally the lighter shade but has been resprayed in the more common darker shade.

might have been but i am looking for the lighter one as i am going to have it sprayed
