Do you have this colour sheet? I am trying to find a true reference to Cambridge Grey, which my 401 was originally painted.

They have the colour sheet in the showroom, if you ever get down that way. They surely have the colour formula at the factory - maybe calling them would be a better idea - make sure you get the green version and not the grey version!

Hello Ren,

Years have passed and I am on the trail you once trod. I see your profile photo - is that the colour you settled on? please can you tell us what the colour is?

I have a 411 s2 (Oct 1970) and have the exact dilemma you wrote about 11 years ago. Ours too is silver, presumably the lightest one they did, and like you we hanker for something a bit sexier, but not as dark as gunmetal as i have seen on the series 3 onwards.

Our car is in for renovation and today we have just decided to take the plunge and include a full paint job as well...

Hoping you are still active, Best wishes

The colour in the image Bristol 048 (18 Sept 10) is a Range Rover colour Bonatti Grey. That is the 411 photographed from above in a courtyard.
