Most likely it is Metropolitan Police Blue with a geranium interior... like Doris the morris, the year fits spot-on i would think the beebs colour retrieval is a bit out with the brown hue rather than red :wink:

Hi Frank - can I quote you on that? I post on a DVD forum where the Doctor Who Restoration team lurk. :)

:lol: , No problem mate...i`m pretty sure about the interior, none of the really early cars had a brown interior, Autumn leaf brown was first used around may `74, the only brown used on early cars was Sorrel which was much darker..(sort of chocolate colour).
