How Do I Find Out The Original Colour
Can anyone tell me how I can find out what the original colours would have been for my 1955 Holiday 88?
Its currently an Audi Ibis White over jensen Nevis Blue, would like to get the blue back to original at least as I wouldn't expect it would have been metalic originally.

Yeah, I love it, although the po had it 'restored'........hmmm, bodged more like.
Did the drivers wing last year, filler was an inch thick, covering a 4 inch patch of rust, cut that out and welded in new metal (doing the job properly), sorted.
Tackled the passenger wing yesterday only to find a bodged welded repair that had gone rusty, so the 'restorer' simply filled the rust hole with filler!!!
I hate clearing up other peoples mess.
I find it quicker to cut and weld, rather than endless amounts of filling and sanding
The 2k metallic paint didn't come out too good this time, pain in the ****, base and then lacquer, doing it outside (don't have a garage or workshop) is no good, hence ive decided to go back to the original blue, just paint no messing around with lacquer, easy to match if needs be later on
