hello
I'm French. A friend of the club CS & RF, getting a 1971 Sunbeam Sceptre
The engine of the car is blue. What is the reference of this color?
Thank you for your answers.

I cannot find a colour reference for the engine block blue any where.
Even if I could it would not mean anything to a paint company.
You need to get a scraping or flake of the paint, and send it to a specialist who will make that exact colour.
This is the only way to do it.

If you are looking for body colours these swatches are for Rootes cars.
