My local paint supplier doesn't have listings for the colours I'm after ....probably simply because the computer doesn't 'go back far enough' ....anyone know where to get code / mixing formulae for two pack paints

For the record it's Armstrong siddely colours. Cream and Ivory and Dark Blue and Sapphire Blue

If you haven't found any by the time I next see him, I'll ask my mate, he has a lot of paint chips from the 50s-70s. The paint components might not help, though, because some modern paints have tinters of different shades than were available back then.

Hi
Ifg the chips are accurate modern body shops or paint suppliers usually have scanners which analyse the colour and come up with a matching mix, I know that's what my employer, a crash repair company, does.

Morleys Derby will scan a sample and mix some up for you. They do MO.

Hmmm ... this has merely been a catalyst for the ' I think I wanna change the colour of it anyway' line of thinking!!!!
