Not sure about the "paint code" - just looking at the photo and it looks similar in colour.

I haven't seen many others with the combination of the "Montalchino Red with a White Roof" - I have seen a few with red roofs or black packs.

I have seen one other Puma with the Montalcino Red with a White Roof - we exchanged waves.

I am sure there are others....

I am assuming yours is a Montachino Red 110 - not sure where you verify that though.

Looks similar colour to mine -

Continue to admire yours Col! Great photo mate

Have you ever thought about getting some white HD 'Wolf' wheels instead of the alloys? I reckon they would look great on yours with the lovely white roof

BTW, did you go to the LR show and 'win' again this year!

I have one sitting in the shed awaiting some minor work, & there is no paint code on the data plate. So I would be interested to know what the official colour is. I did get a touch up made by removing one of the wheel arches & taking it along to a paint place - can't find the spray can though!

That vintage would be Rioja Red, wouldn't it?

Cheers,
Jon

Came across the empty tin of paint which is Copperleaf Red Metallic (Rover Code 1250/CDX) according to label on the can. My Xtreme is a MY2000 pre most of the electric stuff, like windows, locks heated bits & bobs!

Thanks Yolo - I love that photo as it is what I do every Saturday - take my dog (Bearded Collie) out to do Sheep Herding at Erskine park - I like to see the Defender in the padock chilling out with the sheep :-)

I'll take a photo of the dog with the sheep (and the Defender) this weekend!

Funny that you mention the white wheels - I was looking at black wheels...... I will get a black front bar next month (Rijidij Tube Bar with hoops) - and then will look at getting the headlight protectors in black. I think I am going for a black and red look - with a white roof.....

I didn't go to the Expo this year - sadly though - I was hoping to be able to attend but was busy - probably a good thing as I would have won again - and that would not have gone down well

Appreciate the comments - good fun!
Cheers,
Col.

Mine is also a MY2000 Xtreme... maybe they are the same colour.
Personally i prefer the older dash. Manual windows are the best!

In the puma the features that I miss from my previous defenders...
1. the front manual vents.
2. the dash
3. loads of "available" space in the engine bay.

Things I like about the puma.
1. Quieter on the highway
2. Better feeling on the road
3. More feeling of power (maybe the difference in the way they develop power)
