Thread: Camino Gold or Bahama Gold?

Thats Bahama Gold

Should be a Dulux paint sticker somewhere around the radiator shroud or the firewall.

Thanks Dobbo,
No sign of a Dulux label - it has had firewall repairs, so must have been removed sometime.

Iro11's LR is done in Bahama Gold, and I'll be doing mine with it as well.

Like you said, it's hard to tell, the colour from the photos. Some were dark and others light..

Yes, complete novice, I didn't realise there were 2 baby poo yellows that Land Rover used until having a close look at your thread and lro11's.
The Camino looks quite a bit lighter but harder to tell as often the colour has faded over 30 years or the photo is a bit washed out.
Googling around it appears these colours were also used on Jags, Minis and MGB's of similar era.

Better known as Dulux Gold around the traps.

1970s was the last era of local assembly from CKD kits. MGBs ceased in 1972. Jag XJ6s & I think for a while Rover P6Bs were assembled in New Zealand. So Dulux Gold was on all these.

I can't comment on early Rangies that had this or a similar colour, being imported. Perhaps Dulux had an oversupply problem & the stuff ended up every where!

I understand there was two gold colours though coops.

From what I learnt here the changeover was 1978.

I reckon this is Camino



And this is Bahama




PS. That second one is forsale for $12K on carpoint at the moment.
