    Australian production Series III were painted Wildlife Green in 88" wheelbase and Camino Gold in 109" wheelbase. In my time there the wheels were always Limestone. They may have gone to white, but which white, in later production Series III. Bahama gold was a Range Rover colour.

    My copy of the sales manual, LR publication no. 834/3.72 says Constant with all colour schemes - Hardtop Roof Limestone. I thought at least some were white although the memory is from almost 50 years ago.

    Hello from Brisbane.

    The colours changed for both 88” and 109” trucks during the S3 production run. The 88” trucks started in Pastel Green with Limestone wheels and later went to either Spanish Olive and at least one of the golds (possibly Camino Gold) with silver wheels. The 109” trucks had both (I believe) gold shades during the run. The colour offerings were partly to jazz the trucks up to compete with the Japanese offerings and also to rationalise them across the local Leyland range - Kimberley’s, Minis, Marinas, 1500’s etc.

    The hardtop roof panel colours also changed during the run. Early on the whole roof, but not the door tops, were all the same colour - Limestone. Later on the side and rear panels changed to match the body colour. I believe the upper roof panels then went to white. This was about the time that the wheels changed over to silver.

    The Stage One and Game models had a different set of colour choices to the others.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    Found this in regard to paint and colours, more relevant to series 2s but interesting none the less
