Can anyone help? I am making models of each of the Mini's used in the Italian Job (1969 version!) But I want to make sure I've got the right colours. From what I can tell the colours are as follows:

Old English white WT3
Tartan Red RD9

But it's the blue I'm stuck on, the Cooper came in two blue's: Island Blue (BU8) and Surf Blue (BU35)

Can anyone tell me which one it was??

Also, where is the best place to get reproduction sprays of these colours??

Cheers!
