Guys

My 83 Series 3 has lime yellow paint under the existing Limestone. It was originally built in 83 but not used on the road until 85
and received an aged related plate BCD 891Y

When I acquired it , it has a V6 Essex , Steve Parker Conversion properly done , and had apparently been stored for 10 years.

Anyone , have an idea what the origin might have been, its not AA colour,
Any one have knowledge please

Regards
Dave

Inca yellow and Sandglow are the only factory yellows I know of, other than specific customer applications like the AA, Coastguard roof yellow etc.

It'd be a fiver well spent to request the history from the DVLA, you'll get a pile of paperwork listing every previous keeper and change. The form to request information is a V888, https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/206691/V888.pdf.

Inca yellow officially was a stage one V8 colour only:

Sandglow was Camel Trophy yellow:

It was trendy, although

to paint your wagon Camel yellow so perhaps a PO did that?
