LOL I was also at an Austin Rover dealership on my YTS, and despite how badly run Austin Rover was run, they deamed our owner so dodgy (he was a dodgy fooker....to be fair!) they took the franchise off him! You'd have thought they'd just be grateful to sell more cars!!! He later became a Peugeot dealer, my employment also ended in redundancy after about 5 years....

Hi
Been a long time since I last posted but weather is nice and Grifters are emerging from the garage!  Did anyone sort a colour match for the mk1 bronze or red, what about the blue?  My mk1 is an early 76 model and it was blue but some nit brush painted it dark blue!  Should I go original blue?  

if your gonna paint it i'd go with one of the original colours for deffo.

Just looked at the frame number and it is June 76, NH******, decided to go with the original blue colour anyone know a good match?

swelrose got a good match for the blue mk1, you'll have to have a look through the threads in the restoration section as i'm pretty sure they put the spec on there.

New post about this in Resto section, Thanks for replys!
