I have to say I do not, but there are people in this world who can help.

Where abouts in the country are you based, as there are a number of *waits for the abuse* Halfords stores about the country with paint mixing employees that would be willing to mix you something up to a colour ( I myself am one) how close it would be I couldnt tell you, because a single colour of cellulose will almost certainly come out different to a fancy candy or similar, which I guess that is.

Looks similar to Ford Imperial blue to me, hard to see from a picture though.

Imperial blue is also known as Racing Blue I think and there are varients, but from memory I think the standard shade is H3?

EDIT- Could be ford performance blue too, like on the ST's. Never painted it myself but heard its abit of a bugger like the Asbo Orange.

Looks identical to ford performance blue. It's far too light to be imperial,although there seem to have been a few different shades of imperial along the way!
