I assume on a '67 (even commercial) a heritage certificate would give you the original colour (currently takes about a month for an emailed certificate to arrive).

Of course, being a commercial, if could have been repainted by whoever used it back in the day.

Thanks for that info, van has original paint, only had 1 owner until i bought it 2 years ago.

paint factors may be able to match the colour for you if you can take a sample to them
