I didn't post in the Mini Colour guide as I was not sure to how many people visit it who would be able to answer my question before Monday. My car is going into the body shop on Monday and the guy there isn't sure on the colour.

The car is a 1969 Austin Cooper.

I was told it was old english white but according to the colour guide it was only used from 1998. The only other options are.

Glacier White - NMA (BLVC59)
Year: unknown

Triumph White - NAB (BLVC206)
Year: unknown

Ermine/Leyland White - NME (BLVC243)
Years: unknown-84

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

yours looks similar colour to mine
having just got the paint last night no idea on the exact colour though

i would take a panel or the car down to a paint shop and get it matched
thats what i did and i think ive manged to get as near a match as possible
