    what colour are the "white bits"?

    i am slowly rebuilding (note NOT restoring) my 1961 SWB and doing some repainting along the way. I have found the right colour for the body but the roof and wheels were never "white" and i cannot find any reference to them.

    Has anyone any idea what actual colour of white they were or what would be acceptable (don't want people snickering and pointing as i drive past)?

    The colour for Series 2/2a/3 is "Limestone" - a creamy off-white colour. Series 1 had "Ivory".

    Bob beat me to it!
    If you have trouble matching limestone, one of the (many) Toyota white/off whites from the 70s and 80s is a near perfect match as well.
