What's my line?

Hi all,
I read that all Minors had a pinstripe but noticed in the latest issue of Minor Matters that FMT 265J, the restored last ever Minor, doesn't appear to have one.?

Only because they hadn't got around to finishing it
The coachline on a Trafalgar Blue car was generally Pearl Grey in colour I believe.

last time I looked there was no NMP plate either.

Ah!
I didn't realise it had not been finished.
Looking at a few Minors today at a show I noticed that some had coach lines but not all. I've decided to have a go at painting them on in old English white to match the wheels and grille using Humbrol enamel and striping tape. Wish me luck!

Mine doesn't have one either, but since I've 'pimped it' with POLICE signs front and rear, I figure that's more in keeping with a Constabulary cutting costs
I draw the line at painting the wheels Black too though....

You could always try your hand with this sort of thing first:-

I used a kit of ready cut adhesive vinyl stripes which cost £15 from ebay on my Series 2 and they looked OK so I may go down that route again if my brush work doesn't... work.
