Blue 109?

John

Your blue is more like the one I have seen than the Navy colour in Paul's pics.

Will look up my books and see if there is a reference to it.

That blue was one of the colour option's in the UK from about when the 86" was first produced.

Hmmm. The photo in my garage makes it look grey. It's actually a pale and very faded blue. Here's the photo from the eBay ad that shows the colour a bit better:

It'd be interesting to find out the colour goes back to Navy colours. Anyone know whether the Navy had S1's in blue? It's unusual for an S1 to have the fancy chrome wheel trims, so wondering if maybe used for special occasions and parades and such like??
Sorry for the threadjack. Just seemed related enough, but I'm happy to delete the post if you prefer.
Cheers

The inside of the panel I have here, is blue and that is it's original colour.

Marine Blue. Not sure when it was introduced as a colour, nor if it was only Home Market or not, but there seems to be many more in that colour in the UK and Europe. I have a '67 6cyl 12-seat station wagon in that colour, and it is a Home Market chassis.
