    We have been looking at both the Sandman colours, and the standard HQ colours around that time period. My son likes the darker green than the barbados green, but we are still deciding...

    Go Barbados..! I'm not allowed to paint my tonner that colour so someone should..! :P
    Kidding, Montrey Green is pretty cool too. Not very common.

    I know it's a wagon, but looks sweet as.

    This site is good to see the colours on the cars.

    I like Blackwatch green.

    My 73 HQ is originally dublin green which is a little lighter.

    If you get me the van's details i'll find the colour details for you.

    My vote is for Azure Blue, Orchid or Saffron.
