It should be Texas yellow, but just to check, on the front panel under the hood (bonnet to me) at the left-hand end as you look at it, there is a painted metal plate 3" x 1/2". Across its left end is stamped a number; it should be 08 (or 80 if you are reading it upside down!). That's the factory code for the colour. If I'm right, Texas yellow is paint code (for mixing etc) is L10B. You should be able to find it in spray cans from one of the companies. If you find it's another code number, check my Paint code page on the website below. Of course, if it's been resprayed, you will have to keep looking for a match. If you want to find the date of manufacture, the same plate can tell you that; there's a page to help sort it out on the website. Dave.
