Oh yes - tomorrow I'm off to the paint shop to try and get a match so I can blend in the parts that need to be repainted.

The list of possibles so far are

70 - the lesser known p1800 red

155 - the blinking common late 1970s Signal Red

I've got a cover for the (badly cut) hole in the dashboard for where the radio was that has been painted the same colour as the outside - I'm hoping the paint shop has a detector gun...

EDIT

I also forgot to show something else I found today.

Took out the back seat base and found the original upholstery



The interior code on the ID tag says it was factory fresh with 40-197

And that if I'm not mistaken that is indeed 40-197 albeit with what looks like blood stains on it (happy days)
