Colour codes: differences Cowley/Longbridge?

Dorchester2 · 22nd September 2018, 12:06

Hello chums!

Because I need a 75 rear bumper, I'm offered one in France but the seller is not able to tell me which dark blue he has.

However I know that my Atlantic blue - JEY - was only done in the Cowley plant.
Later in Longbridge they changed for another one very close: who could tell me which colour & which code?

BTW I know that the lower part is black for Cowley cars & same colour as the rest for Longbridge ones.

The guy promised to send me a picture next Monday but for such close colours (dark blue & black) a picture may be deceptive.

Thanks a lot!

I'm a nut !

I knew there was something somewhere but was unable to find it out.
Nevertheless something's weird just regarding my colour : it reads "JEY" below the picture but "JEW" in the texts at the bottom of the page.
I hope there's no antisemitism concern there...
