Mark - that would probably be "a" guardsman blue. Best match I could find in the UK (and a production paint that is easily repeatable) is (gulp) a Volvo metallic blue from the '70's. Paul at Paul's Motors in Hinckley knows the paint code - he is spraying another Crendon in the same colour right now. Email me for his 'phone number if you want.

I tried all sorts of matches from ancient paint codes before settling for this. It is the kind of "old" metallic that looks different in the shade/under the sun. Just like an "old" metallic should.
For pics see my gallery here, or view my car at Stoneleigh, if you can wait that long.
