    What's the rarer colour from these 3

    As the question says,
    What's the rarer colour out of:

    A) Mistrel Grey
    B) Atlantis Blue
    C) Caribbean Turquiose

    MIGHT be changing the colour of the HZ and putting the correct stripes on it, just wondering what colour is harder to find?
    BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman

    I have 11 x HZ in Carribean Turquoise, 21 x HZ in Atlantis Blue and 3 x HZ in Mistral Grey. You have to remember though some HZ colours will be rarer than others due to the timeframe they were available. For example Mistral Grey wasn't available until around 11/78. If you want a really rare HZ colour use Ultra Blue, I have nothing recorded in this colour, and it was only available unto the end of July 1978. I have only ever seen a couple of HZ GTS's in that colour and my Overlander was also that colour originally. A few other very rare HZ colours (on Sandman anyway) are:

    Dynasty Gold;
    Antelope;
    Persian Sand MkII;
    Mojave Beige;
    Mirage Blue;
    Ashley Grey;
    Sandlewood.

    No, not by a long shot in what I have recorded. I only have 9 Sandmans in Jasmine, and 4 x non-Sandman.

    The most common I have are Flamenco Red (14 plus a non-Sandman van), Palais White (14 plus 4 x non-Sandman) and Atlantis blue (21 Sandmans). Valencia Orange was only available until the end of July 1978 yet I have 11 of those. I also have 11 Windsor blue (plus a Kingswood ute too) and 11 Caribbean Turquoise (plus a Kingswood van). The rest are all single digit, some colours I haven't even got one recorded!

    ALL Sandman colours, Absinth Yellow is probably the most common recorded of the lot, I have 52 plus 9 non-Sandmans. This would be followed by Mandarin Red with 36 and 4 x non Sandman. Deauville Blue with 28 plus 2 non-Sandman. Cotillion White with 22 Sandmans plus 11 non-Sandmans. There are a couple amongst those counted here as Sandmans which have ? next to them, so possibly subtract 1-3 off these overall colours and add 1-3 to the non-Sandmans.
