I asked this a long long time ago but thought it worth asking again.
I have a blue fairway,I've been told its midnight blue but can't find any colour that matches
Any idea what paint LTI used,or did they just use what ever colour they could lay their hands on?

They usually are Rover Midnight Blue... which when you look at it has a purplish tint..... if you want to know its true colour ring up LT I in London and give them your registration number.... and they will give you the paint code....and the paint code on a TX 1/2/4 is behind the brake servo
