I guess he reads the licenseplate, the final letter gives the year of issue. Not necessarily the modelyear I guess, but it´s a good lead. |

The fact is that the first productions of this car in 1964, seems to be bi-colours delivery (roof/body)... were there selled with single colour in 1964?... should be verified |

Seventeen years later, I can verify that my Dad’s 1964 Triumph 2000, AUX912B, was a single colour, gunmetal grey. Never give up hope. |

Agreed launch had single colour and 2-tone options. Most UK firms offered 2-tone options in early 60s, but the fashion died out mid-60s and by late 60s very few two-tones were either still listed or actually bought. Tastes changed, and also I think partly because they developed richer and more attractive paint colours late 60s, including the first mass-production metallics, so cars looked interesting without 2-tone or contrasting thick side flashes. Loads of examples where you can follow the progression through our collections - maybe Heralds, Rover 3-Litres, ADO38s show the change. |
