It looks a little light to be Oslo Blue but the light can be deceptive.

Oslo Blue:

if it's non metallic, likely to be Caledonian Blue. Fairly common on late Tdi's and a maybe a few Td5's.

Cobar Blue (metallic) on a few too.

Cheers

Gave the vin to the local dealer and they said it should be Caledonian Blue Thanks for all your help, I didnt think the dealer would know but there you go,

It's exactly the same colour as mine as we had the same problem identifying the colour code when the rear body was put on. Even the dealers couldn't get it from the VIN, nothing listed, even in the UK!!

In the end they just matched it in house and did a great job.

Would it have been a custom job from new? (all panels are that colour inside & out) :angel:

Scouse tells me that mine is Ocean Blue. My Defender is a South African build, & they have a different colour scheme to the UK.:angel::angel:
