Looks like Odyssey Blue, not a cheap paint and hard to feather in. A beautiful colour though.

It will be either Steel Blue, or Atlantic Blue.......it's not Odyssey Blue, which has a green hue

Looks like Atlantic Blue. Lovely colour-it really pops in the sunlight.

I only suggested Odyssey blue because I had a tourer that colour and in some lights it looked just like the pictures.
Frankly it doesn't matter but a nice car and hopefully the eventual buyer will be knocking on the club door at some point.

Oh l say, what a lovely-looking car.
I'm not sure l can see a key mark on it either, Brian.
I wonder if it will sell at that price, it certainly should do.

Yes does look like the reflection of the workshop lights, as opposed to key marks.

If an early model more than likely be the 'Atlantic Blue' did the Odyssey colour not get introduced at a later date to replace Atlantic ?

Looks a nice car, however could not see anyone here buying at that price

Probobly showing my ignorance, would a build date of 29/9/2000 make it a longbridge car?.
