I thought it might be that. On my little colour chips you can't see much difference between Glade and Cedar, other than Glade Green being very slightly lighter.

Not got Rootes/Sunbeam paint guide.

Did one colour replace the other - what years was Glade green available?
Not seen too many that shade. Is it not that common?

If it's cedar green it will be paint code 140 on the ID plate riveted to the slam panel (assuming it is there)!

It's either Cedar Green metallic or Glade green. (I only know this from looking at a Berger book of paint chips, Chrysler UK colours 1967-69)

If anyone has more of an idea which one it is (ie which was the metallic green in 1969-70) would be very helpful.

Now sitting on my driveway, I've finally bought one!
Does seem a very nice, original car and goes very well.

Looks like a genuine car. Price is a bit steep but worth a discussion if you are on the look out for one...
