I need help to identify the color of my 1974 doublecab. The M -plate refers

971351 - Unknown special color. According to some research it could be a color used by the german railway services, but I can't find the color code.

Super cool. Care to post a pic of your m-plate?

Do you know any more history of your bus?

I only know that the bus was brought to Portugal in the 80īs. It has a BA6 gas heater and it was used very hard in the house construction business.

The bus was already painted outside with a non original color but inside the original paint is still there. The general condition of the bus is, as usually, very bad.

I'm pretty sure that if I find the color code of this picture I will find the code of my bus. RAL 5008 ???
