Hi Paul,
I really don't know if there were any similar colours to the
Series cars but here is a list of the original colours:
Saloons:
Sapphire Blue with Light Fawn upholstery
Beech Green with Light Fawn upholstery
Gun with Gray upholstery
Black with Light Fawn upholstery
Black with Bright Red upholstery
Alpine Mist with Bright Red upholstery
Satin Bronze with Bright Red upholstery
MK Alpines
Alpine Mist with special Bright Red upholstery
Ivory with special Bright Red upholstery
Coronation Red with extra Light Fawn upholstery
Sapphire Blue with extra Light Fawn upholstery
Wheels finished in body colour except Ivory which has Bright Red wheels
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Bob
