OK - here's two 'Poppy's. Mine's the one on the left. Plate says she's Feb '83 (Y reg), but she's always been a bit non-standard, having one of those dashes where they were using up their old spare switches, so she doesn't have any push buttons, and is definitely not the standard red spesh colour, compared to her C reg cousin on the right. The door gives the most accurate colour guide in the photo.
I thought (from the paint code charts I've seen, going by date) that she might be Rouge Castille, but that's too dark, and she doesn't look like Rouge Géranium either. She's a darker, redder, less orangey red than most Spécials (Rouge Vallelunga/Sunrise Red?). Any ideas what colour she is - it's really bugging me now!
photo!! she did have a major compound polish after this shot and she is slightly more red now!
