Looks like Valencia. Which is pretty interesting to me because if it is, I made the same decision even though Valencia is an HZ colour. My first HX van has pretty considerable rear 3/4 panel rust (and currently a hole in the roof.... uhm... I'll get to that later) and was originally antelope gold as well, but considering that it was Dominoes Pizza blue when it got to me (which may explain the hole in the roof), and the cash it was costing, I didn't want to respray it in antelope. I nearly went for the HX orange which is Papaya but HZ Valencia is such a classic colour. It was a difficult decision, but I'm sure it was the right one considering various other aspects of the remaining originality of the car.

So is that now two antelope gold HX vans now in Valencia on this site? I wonder if there are others.

Its only a guess, hard to pick colour in that picture, but it could be mandarin red? Is a Hx colour too.

Great job there Higherground. Manderin red always looks different dependant on the light, looks dark in those pics.

Thanks Sandaro , when I first saw it I thought it was definitely more orange than red but it certainly shows up more red in the photo's . Very happy with how it's coming along and very happy with the colour .
