"Poll Dorset" or "Merino" white, goes with the BRG perfectly... you wouldn't want your car to stand out from the rest in a lineup...

That’s amazing!

Is there one for the rover cars?
I’ve got my brg as either ham or hna code (both were 1994)
But don’t have the roof colour!

Not on this forum site. We mainly concentrate on Australian assembled cars so paint colours for the Rover Mini, being UK assembled, don't appear here. There will be UK equivalent colour cards somewhere. Maybe someone else can provide a link?
