Seafoam Green? There was a Practical Classics article many years ago that showed a works Sunbeam Alpine in this colour. I think that was what the colour was called Confused

Hi

Not a million miles off what my pickup was painted when in llandudno, and will be very shortly once more! Could find the colour code I have, but then it won't be the same as yours.

Cheers

Dave

My truck was delivered to the Las Vegas Valley Water District from the factory in a metallic blue which was by coincidence called "Vegas Blue". They then painted it that shade of green, which I am guessing was their fleet colour. So I have no idea as to name or colour code. I do prefer that colour over the factory metallic blue. I think it looks more "60's".

Here's some pictures of the car in question. It says the colour is Seacrest Green.

That certainly looks close...........I wonder if it a Sunbeam colour? I will go and check the charts.
