    Which available colours under the CKD Range Rover era ?

    I need help have a better overview of what colours that were available under the CKD Range Rover era.

    Type of colour, the name (like "Pacific Blue") and when the colour was available will help a lot...

    If you are able to provide a picture as well, it'll be even greater !


    Feel free to have a look at my RRC knowledge site:

    www.range-rover-classic.com


    Thanks !

    I have a 12/81 Range Rover which was originally "Lincoln Green", but now repainted in "British Racing Green" a few years ago.

    - Sahara Dust
    - Lincoln Green

    - Pacific Blue is an Australian Colour

    - Know there were some Holden colours...
    - anyone who knowns the names ??

    - and the big mistery; the "Traffic Yellow".......
    - any name ?
    - someone with a picture of a Rangie with this colour ?!!

    Thanks for your support !

    I have an 6/82 in snowy white, also in the history of Land Rover, published by Overlander Magazine in 93, there is a chronology of range rover changes,
    at 1980 it states "Highway Yellow, an eyecatching new colour was introduced when JRA found itself with an oversupply of paint from its contract to supply trucks for the Sydney County Council!" also in James Taylor's book Original Range Rover there is a list of Australian CKD colours also mentioning Highway Yellow.

    I have. Both.
    There was a guy at Narrabeen who had one lifted about 8 inches and it was featured in 4x4 Australia several years ago. I thought it was insane but he had it engineered. I have looked over and under and in.
    There was also a mint original one in Northern NSW sold on Carsales a couple of years ago.
    Regard sPhilip A
