Hi Chris,

Unfortunately I didn't have any confirmation on which paint code is correct for 1958 Sand colour.

The paint guys did come up with a mix which they say is similar if not the same... Looks OK to me but hard to tell as I am partially colour blind.

I will publish the paint codes I gathered on my page as well. See, if someone out there can confirm one of them as being the correct one for 1958.

It is a bit frustrating because I am trying to get all original parts and want to stay true to originality. And even though I saw the paint, it may turn out a bit different after having been sprayed on and dried.

Maybe see you one of these days...

Kris

I assume you have checked out these sites.

They indicated that those would fit but were not accurate reproductions for a Series I....

Oh, and they (trekkers.co.uk) don't export... and refer to John Craddock..

G'day Kris, heres a pic of the seats in my 57 S1.





Cheers Easo

Hi Easo,

Nice... are those original Series 1, 88", rear benches?

If so, could you get me some dimensions/measurements so I can compare these to reproductions on sale.

I guess you don't want to part with them? Know anyone in your area who could reproduce them? Or could I borrow them and I will get a welder to reproduce them? I am not sure where you are located?

Land Rover Series Paint Codes

Garry

Hi Garry,

Yeah I did... Stephens link above is not working. It is missing the last letter of HTML. Here is the link for others colour chart 2

And the second link has codes... but none confirmed to be 1958's or to a specific period. Therefore it may be the later military Sand colour. It probably is as the other later colours are there as well. The email form on the website doesn't work... so???

According to James Taylor "Original Land-Rover Series 1" Page 78 The paint code for sand/beige which was used on some export models is ICI PO30-3182. However, he states that this colour match has not been confirmed.(The land rover series 1 club did the research.) Cheers Biloxi

I'm in Darwin mate, the seats were in our S1 when we got it as kids. I'll bang out some more detailed pics for you with mesurements.

Kris,

Did you see these in the 86 restoration kits from Trakkers

86 Inch Full Restoration Kit

The rear seats are not listed as individual items but they are in this kit. The 86 rear seats will be the same as the 88 seats.

Edit - also Exmoor Trim http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/index.ph...id=6&Itemid=89 see page 62 - again 86 but will be the same as an 88.
