Chatsworth was part of the Monogram options.
Cost an extra £1000 at the time.
It is a Supertallic paint.
Colour code IAE
Full correct name is Elegant Bronze.
DVLA won't have an option for that so closest would be " Bronze"
Same as Tempest Grey/ X Power grey ( same thing ) it will just say "Grey" on the log book.
So does my Missus Focus ST. That says Grey. Now't like Tempest but ""Grey.""
My ZTT just says "Red". Only DVLA option.

Forgot to add....Whatever you do don't scratch it !
Impossible to just touch up and the paint for a panel re-spray will cost an arm and a leg

So, back to the OP's post, it "could" be a Monogram car. Those paints are almost impossible to photograph and get it to show correct.
