My Dad had a Hillman Hunter back in the day in a very similar colour. Not a standard CB SOHC 4 colour.

A very 1970/s colour - when I was in the car trade I used to sell new Audi 80's B1 during 1973-75 the bronze metallic was a very popular colour across most brands.

Hi Johnny,
That colour reminds me of a mid 70's BMC colour 'Reynard' metallic, perhaps Eddie Ratter or Graham at Hatston have chips still.
Great news on the running bike but we don't have a 'rat bike' prize at the Rally!
