Mrs.gnarley Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi, sorry to raise the question as I'm sure this has been asked at least once or twice. Ive just bought myself a Defender 90 300tdi (1994). From my searches on here and the internet, I'm pretty certain that she's Coniston Green. Thanks to all those people who reproduce the colour codes etc, you made my life easier. But to my question, what I can't find is whether the roof and wheels should be limestone or white. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I suspect at that age they’ll be Alpine White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 With respect to bodywork colour, when I took the door card off the rear door on my 110 CSW, there was a print out (on the old dot matrix green/white paper) of the factory config stuffed in the void. Quite useful. Might be worth a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.gnarley Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 That's brill, thanks both of you. I've not had much chance to have a really good look round her yet but I definitely give taking door cards of to have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smego Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Who cares what some old codger wanted it to look like years ago, paint it in the colour you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not Limestone, which was dropped when the 200Tdis were introduced in the very late 80s. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen an early 90 with Limestone either, just the early 110s.

Mrs.gnarley Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 A colour I like....hmmm yellow it is then 😄 Thanks for all your help, I'll stick with the alpine white roof, it does look good against the green...or rather it will when it's cleaned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like a 14' jar or Marmite... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
