406 Paint Colours

[backseateducation]

Does anyone have a list of standard paint colours for the 406?
If this information appears already on this site I would gladly be pinted in the right direction.

Thanks

Matt.

Matt,
I think we all started with a Dinky 450 or 406 .
and many of us have the" Bristol disease" very badly now.
Hopefully you will purchase a car soon.

The October 1959 Sales Brochure for Type 406 shows the following body colours

Black , Bristol Red, Dark Green

plus Two Tone Colour schemes
Sable/Light Beige
Cambridge Grey/Silver Grey
Dark Grey/Silver Grey
Midnight Blue/Pastel Blue

That's brilliant thank you geoff.

I'll have a look at some pictures, but I like the idea of the dark green.
Good job there is a decent model shop about half a mile from my work.

Thanks again

Confusing - are you after models or the real thing?

Just doing up an old model at present. Hopefully a real one will appear at some point in the next couple of years if things go according to plan!
