What colour

(1/5) > >>

AndyD:
OK, first question on the 400/4 restoration if anyone can help please.
I'm trying to sort out what colour / scheme the bike should be.
The bike is a 'P' reg August 1975 on the log book and this says colour is red.
Attached photo shows the current tank (no idea how the paint ended up this way!) and looks a bit purplish rather than red on the undamaged areas.
As the bike has had a hard life this may well be non original tank or paint scheme so I wondered if anyone can advise what the correct colour / scheme should be for this year of bike.
Cheers,
Andy

mike the bike:
That's the F2 red- candy antares red.  You want the F1 red.  Can't think what it's called but the post office use it on their vehicles.

Moorey:
A 75 should be light ruby red or varnish blue with matching side panels.

Nurse Julie:
Light Ruby Red....considered the fastest colour by some 😀 🤣😀

AndyD:
Brilliant - thanks for the quick replies.
That's the colour scheme I remember from years ago when a friend had a blue one.
Also saw one yesterday at the Harpenden classic show we popped in to briefly and looked good so that's what I'll go for.
Cheers,
Andy
