In need of advice on paint colour for Riley Elf III.

Hello folks,

I've been in search for the name or colour code for an Riley Elf Mark 3 (1968) for a while now. Have searched around and been to a few paint shops with no luck. Would really appreciate your help and any information you could give me and/or where I can buy paint for a touch up. The car is a green but I'm unsure of the name or colour code. Would really mean the world if you was able to help.

Heres some pictures...






Thanks in advance and I look forward to your replys

Looks like Cumberland Green to me. As far as I know that was the only Green offered on MKIII Elfs.

WOW! Thank you so much for your speedly reply, really does mean alot. Would you happen to know where I could buy paint online? Thanks again!

Not really. I can't tell from your profile where you are, but any good paint shop should be able to make you some paint if you tell them it's Cumberland Green GN-35. Just be aware that they might have to custom match touch-up paint to your car since the 44 year old paint has most likely faded a bit since new.

Thank you so much sir, you truely don't know how thankful I am. Been searching around for 3months looking for paint.

Lovely car, nice photos. Welcome to our forum.
Like Red Riley says, we can't tell where you are located so why not help yourself further by adding your town?
That way, any other members who may live in your locality would be able to point you in the right direction for allsorts, including paint suppliers.

BTW your paintwork look superb and original.

Did they do a willow green as well? I've a mk3 which is allegedly this colour, which I thought was oriiginal?

I've rescued this from an archived internet file and put it on my own website for safekeeping.

Thanks for your replys everyone. Was a massive headache trying to find the colour. I believe everything on the car is original. Going to admit that this isn't actually my car, its an old family friends car I'm helping to do up. As much as I would love to own this car. I drive a Porsche Cayenne (a true classic I know ). I'm a massive fan of classic cars and I'm looking to invest in a 1969's Mini, will try and post more frequently. Thanks again everyone!
