I can't work out what colour this 75 is. Thought it could be Ski blue at first but it appears too dark and I'm fairly sure Ski blue was only offered from 2005. Is it a Monogram colour?

My first thought was celestial but it doesn't quite look right. The photos do look slightly enhanced though which may be why the colour looks odd.

Ski blue or Sea frost blue, i would go for the later Ski blue.

It looks dark because of how the light as caught it.

The ad photo from the rear seems to give a better idea of the real colour.
The Turquoise effect is quite jarring!

I did notice that there was a bung missing from the strip on the roof. Not good.

I think looking at the more neutral photo's the car is actually Seafrost blue
Ski blue is more silvery as shown on Artic's photo's
My seafrost Car looks more bluey than the Ski blue from the other end of the town
No doubt some one will come up with the build data and confirm either way

Hi Steve.
What Colour code letters does your seafrost blue have on the door pillar ? my first tourer which was seafrost had JYA whereas the other Nano crew members Duncan had JHI if i remember right.

Seafrost was a Mk1 colour so again confusing.

My Tourer is a MK2 (facelift) with paint code JYA which is as you say Seafrost , I think mine was one of 53 in that colour so not that many about as obviously Rover collapsed not that long after the facelift was introduced

Looking at the Link I think the other car in town another tourer will be JHI (Ski Blue ). As said earlier it looks a more silvery blue and I believe even less of them about

As you can see from the photo it looks rather pale to the 45 in Sonic Blue
