Platinum was pretty much white. Common colour of a roof of a Cooper and usually paired with Shadow Blue. The white has a slight blueish undertone. I restored a Cooper in this combo years ago, and have seen many of them since in that combo.
Best to google shadow blue cooper I think.

Some bloke reckons this one is closer to surf blue but it looks a lot like shadow blue to me. Platinum was a common colour to combine with it. This may not be guaranteed the right colour but you are on the right track.

I believe so, yes. Amazing that it was legal. Think what it would be like on a bright day!

Biebers' is a Fisker Karma.

Bowie's mini isn't really Bowie's, more like an easy idea of him when he was asked to think of something specia. It isn't legal and isn't registered either.
