Can someone point me to information on the original colors which were available on the classic Mini? In particular, I believe there was a non-metallic grey color but I can't confirm or find any pix.

Would also love pointers to enthusiast sites with lots of info about the classic Mini. Thanks!

Been away for a few days. WOW, thanks for all of the excellent information. I think Yukon Grey is what I'm after...I'm considering one of those GoMini VTEC powered Mini's (I hope y'all don't consider that blasphemous) because they sound like they'd be a blast. I have a Lotus Elise (another Brit car with a Japanese engine) and kinda like the symmetry that the GoMini would achieve...plus the originals just look so cool. My current MINI Cooper (BMW) is black and I will never, ever get another black car again. But grey seems like it'll be a bit easier to keep looking good....

 

I have a 1993 Mini blue/silver. I was told that it was Rover Blue, however I am not sure if that is true. Also, I want to paint the top white. What color of white paint should I use?? Thanks.

 

Here is a pretty good resource.
