No, Dizzi! NOT PINK! EVIL... I have been thinking and I'm not sure what the colour is called, but its a dark-ish blue... and I love it on all the cars, epecially a convertable with a white/cream hood! My mission is to one day have all the 'car' minors in that colour! I also love the marron colour on the trav, but only when it's aged!

I asked the paintshop for a couple of cans of paint in exactly this colour. But they wouldn't sell it to me for a price that I wanted to pay for it!Innovator wrote:The best colour for a Minor is the colour YOU want it.

I am with Ray on this one webeditor as regards the colour but is it a trick question as the 1,000,000 minor was produced on 22nd December 1960 then taking into account factory shutdown periods over the holiday period I assume thet were not actually painted until the new year, making it 1961 that was the Lilac yearThere were 350 Morris Minors painted pink in the factory. A prize to anyone who can guess in which year they were all painted?
Cheers

Re: What colour on a Minor? - POLL
Perhaps we should re-run the poll with the full range of colours available from 48 to 71, maybe add in interior styles Andy colours to really complicate things. I can't really believe the trafalgar blue is the best colour. Probably the most common colour but possibly not the best ?

lilac is my favourite
Re: What colour on a Minor? - POLL
I do love the way that old topics suddenly surface This poll was started almost ten years ago by someone who I believe no longer frequents the board. In the opening paragraph he stated: " This isn't an exhaustive list on every single Minor paint colour, but most of the ones from the Topic started by brixtonminor"; so even then it was a "second hand" topic
That said, it is interesting to see what colours are now being suggested, and it would be nice to know how (if) preferences have changed over time. Keep the ideas flowing.
