Hi guys, is there such thing as a "rover charcoal grey"?

Is that too vague or is that a genuine description?

What cars would this paint be found on and does anyone have a code handy?

Thanks

 

[geeza76]

Charcoal - LVD, sometimes confused with Anthracite

pretty much all of the smaller Rovers have been charcoal at some point

What would the flat red on my 114 be known as then? Is it "Nevada Red"?

 

[geeza76]

Flame red possibly?

 

[NickJ1984]

Is LVD the code for that particular shade?

 

[geeza76]

yes it is

it will be written on the plate on the passenger side door of the car

 

[NickJ1984]

Cheers mate

 

[Liam Olf]

Ah right, I'll just have a look now...

UPDATE: No plate in the passenger door for my car...

114 is on the slam panel iirc

 

[Liam Olf]

Previous owner has removed it by the looks of it...

Slam panel as in the one above the radiator, where the bonnet arm rests?

Yes. :err:

 

[geeza76]

I thought it was something along those lines Geeza, thanks.

You wouldn't happen to have the paint code stored in the old egg while you're at it would you?

EDIT: Strike that, just saw you edit it.

Why does the car have no vin plate ???
Look at the rubber seal along the scuttle panel trim, in the "gutter" on the left hand side check the stamping of the vin number into the body and cross reference it to the V5C

The 75 & ZT club web site has a datasheet of all colours used since 1965 if that's any help.
