My son's 74 850 needs some paintwork touching up, but we can't track down
which particular white it is. There doesn't seem to be a paint code anywhere
on the body. Any ideas on how to pin this down?

They either had stickers on the body or the name on the ID plate.
Is it a creamy white or a bright white
maybe Snow white?

Cheers! They seem to have a few gaps in photos of their "White" listing...

All stickers seem to have gone. It's not a pure white, but only very
slightly creamy. It could possibly be Snowberry. We may have to do some test
patches.

Hi,
I have looked up my paint list and for Mini from 1969 onwards, the only
white listed is "Triumph White" (BLVC206) NAB.
This colour is listed for 850 Deluxe, 1275GT, Clubman Estate and 1100
Special.
Hope this info is of some use to you.

Thanks, Keith,
This car's not a deluxe (no opening rear windows, round speedo), but it's
certainly worth checking out a sample of NAB.

A few years back I owned a '72 mini 1000 super deluxe that was glacier
white. Definately no hint of cream in it though.

Should be Leyland White.
