Hi I am looking to start restoring my 1970 convertible. The original colour is amber. Has anyone got a good picture of a 70 convertible in this colour? I need good pic to convince my wife ( did a search cant find good pic)

Cheers Mike

Amber and Signal Orange are the same color. Signal Orange was the 1970 year name and Amber was the 1971 year name. Blood Orange (from 1971) is quite a bit redder.

The Cabrio in the front of the 1974 sales brochure is the same L20E signal Orange / Amber.

Good luck with the paint, Mike.

Yes - you have to keep the wife happy. I often tell my husband,

"A happy wife means a happy life..."
