Hi Sainters

Those colours that you mention are by no means the rarest. The rarest colours from the GTR and XU-1 data that I have collected over the past 5 or so years are:

Russett
Spartacus Blue
Wedgewood
Warrigul Black
Covert Beige
Balmoral Green
Brooklands Blue

It could be argued that these colours are rare because they were unpopular with GTR/XU-1 purchasers. These colours may be more common in the S and SL range.

Cheers

My research is on Cars that were factory painted in Strike me Pink and Lone o Ranger Colours, not any other colours. Bazza would be doing all Colours i would say

[xu2308]

And only on Adelaide Built LJ GTR's and Adelaide Built LJ XU-1's, as i dont need to do Brisbane ones for my research

[Redslur]

I suspected a Fleet colour that is why I couldn't find it in all my documentation.

Thanks Mick.

Well Bazza I have it on good authority that you know better than most what Brooklands Blue looks like...................

I have seen photos of a beautifully restored Wedgewood LJ XU1 which is the 1 and only I have ever seen
Warrigul Black has been used by many a promoter for marketing purposes but can't say that I have seen photos of the other mentioned
Some photos posted would be great if anyone has any on hand

cheers
