The Registry just says "white / red interior". NEDSEL here might know. A 260 2V car that Herbie drove all the way into the 80's. Paid a little over $5,800 for it. All according to the Registry...

According to this article, it is/was Old English White...

I think that's correct. Wimbledon White is a Ford color and came later. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

Looking around a little online, I found an MG Old English White from 1961 era is DuPont code 83445. I don't know that it's the same exact color though. Vintage is close though.
Dan Case pointed out to me that many cars were repainted before being sold to buyers to repair damage due to shipping or final assembly. If Mr Hancocks car is the original paint as it came from AC Cars, that MG color my guess is it probably pretty close.
