I'm not really sure, some colour/model geek on here will clarify that for you. I know the Mustard Yellow is found on the Mk1 SR's.

Who cares what it was / used to be ... if the shells clean and its got a decent motor in then you won't go far wrong !!

the car has never bin welded and doesnt need any for mot it just needs bottom arms and back coil spring as the mot man could pull them out ..and the engine has a bit of a flat spot in the rev range but as its bin stood for months so an gunner do the plug oil sump gaskit and put full poly bush kit and i was thinking about spraying it white in side and out plus under the car....
