Hello everyone. As a new year treat to myself, I'm having my 4/4 refurbished. I'm in a quandary, however, as I've (possibly foolishly) decided to have it resprayed in a different colour. I'm now rather stuck as to what, having the choice of pretty much anything. I want something distinctive, and not green or silver or blue or yellow. Possibly something like this (does anyone know this colour's paint code?):  Suggestions welcome! And yes, I'm not looking at resale issues.

Good call..that sort of "Imperial Purple" has long been my favorite colour. Don't worry about the paint code, talk to the people who will be spraying the car.
A further suggestion: to re-spray a Morgan properly the wings must be removed. So they can be a different colour: a deep metallic blue would contrast with that Lotus Purple and look, in my view, awesome.
I'm sure you will get many more suggestions!

Go and look in some classic or sports car garages and ask what they are sprayed or nip into a spray shop for some advice before you take the plunge.

It could be an expensive mistake! Paul O'Grady comes to mind!

Too 'kit car' for me.
I cannot tell where you are located, there is the performance car show at the NEC, Birmingham UK fom 9 - 12 January. Might be worth a trip to see what is out there.

What is the leather trim colour? Won't that limit options?

You haven't seen Margaret Parkes Roadster?
Easy to find in a field full of Morgans...
