Thread: Dad's Landrover

Geoff, do you have a paint code and name for that green? Mine, 1976 build, is a slightly more olive green (Spanish Olive?) that came out for a short while after your colour and before they went to the camino gold or what ever it is the 109's were.

Mine never had a paint code on it so if I'm trying to track it down I can discount your green from the list.

Don't see many of either colour on the road now.

Nice post by the way, thanks, hopefully you'll see mine up here one day.

Cheers
Lakey

G'day Lakey,

You'd think I'd subscribe to my own thread so I know when I need to take a look

I'm led to believe the colour is "wildlife green", as that's what's noted in Brian Hjelm's Salesman's Manual (see the files section of this site), although I don't have anything to confirm that. However, between the fuel filler and the door, there are a couple of spots where the top layer of paint has come off and there's a darker shade underneath. It isn't really shown in any of the photos, so I'll try and get one of that.
