Over 2 years later and I still have the Marina but it's still just sat in a lock-up awaiting a service & titivation....

Strangely enough I did get hold (locally too) of a Nov 76 Maxi HL in exactly the same colour and mileage!

It looks just like Jade Green metallic like my 1.8 special

Careful getting the paint though, unless you're getting the whole car done.

I had a touchup can made from the code and the shade is slightly different plus the flakes in modern paint are bigger.

I know that'll be obvious to the more experienced members here, but no harm pointing it out. The best thing to do is remove the petrol cap or soem other painted panel and give it to the paint shop to match the colour.
