Cardinal Red I believe would have been the original colour.

Hard to give a definitive answer....have you got original tinware like toolbox lid as the inside of that would be your best guide and a decent paint shop could match it up..

Rover Damask Red is a reasonable match to the original

The very first Red used was left over paint from prewar for Aldwich post Office contract. Post Office red. Amazon Red matches, it was stocked by Roadstar motor cycles Dover, a few years ago.

You're supposed to be on holiday drinking beer not posting on this forum! Take the wife out somewhere nice, Lanzerotte possibly? You could catch up with Farrington !
