Hornet Colours

Hi All,

I recall there being a website that listed all the original BMC car colour options, can any of you remind me of it?

My car will go to paint in January and it was originally Cumulus Grey (GR29) & Yukon Grey (GR7), however my partner (for whom I am restoring the car) doesnt like the original colours, and so I have said she can change them providing they were originally used on the Hornet, and providing they match with the 2k redish interior I have already bought from Newton Commercial.

She suggested Dark Grey Body and Red roof, however I posted this on the old forum and I got a comment that said this was never an original combo. I want to avoid white as the car will show signs of rust at some point and I hate those dirty stains that come through on white cars.

Any thought on what colour option to use? or that website that detailed the original options?

(Wes, the owner of this website has now sold his Elf but has left the site on line for others.)

Below are the colours for the elf. It seems that the elf and wolseley were different in that the body and roof colours were reversed
