Hello, Can anyone help with the colour code or name of the colour on our caravan? Its a CI Europa 410 dating between 1980/82. Its a beige sort of colour which I think has a hint of pastal green but it may just be a trick of the light! We have given it a good tidy up and although it still needs one or two things doing we are quite pleased with it. It just needs touching up here and there so we need to acquire the right colour. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I think you will be pretty lucky to find a matching paint. I think you are right with your description of the colour. Your van was likely made in Newmarket and over a number of changes of ownership eventually ended up as part of Swift. You could try Swift direct to see if they have any old records.

Is it possible to get a little sample of the paint and take it to a car paint suppliers,and get them to mix an aerosol of it, when my vintage MR2 was under restoration the only way we could match it was take a flake of the paint and get it matched, as paint does tend to fade and age , so even if you found the right paint it's unlikely they would match now.
Good luck :)
