Hi All, can anyone help me with paint codes ?
I believe the original colour of our may 1970 Dormy would have been L282 - Lotus White but not 100% certain
She is in at the moment for a re- spray and would like to keep or go back to to the original colour and the paint shop are waiting on my colour choice.
Can anyone help?... Also would like to know what colour the roof ,bumpers , wheel and inside would have originally have been if they were different from the main body .

Many thanks

Factory plate:
02 138 849
424251 C*96 042 141 191

The relevant part of your M-plate that you have posted up is 424251.
This equals lotus white for both the lower and top half (including roof).
The 51 refers to the upholstery - in this case dark beige.
Load compartment interior would have been L275 light beige.
Wheels L581 cloud white.
Bumpers ditto.
Hub caps L70 grey-silver.
 
Thanks Vwed 8)
Is there anyone out there with a Lotus White Van with cloud white Bumpers. If so could you post a picture please.
I would really like to see a picture , is the cloud white much of a contrast to the Lotus white?
