What Colour Blue?
Hey guys,

Doing some research (badly) and I'm coming up stuck.

What colour blue was available in 2000 for Defenders?

Its a Genuine CSW 110 in Metallic Blue and I need to know the paint so I can get some made up for some replacement/touch up bits.

Thanks as always guys Bow down

Is it a dark blue? Could be Oslo blue?

Ah, lucky man! One is never enough! Good colour too, my old man nearly bought an 04 110 xs in olso, 8 or so years ago but settled on a Caledonian blue dcpu. Is this the one for the missus then?

Thank you Very Happy

Yes very lucky indeed, many hoops had to be jumped through before I got it all sorted and even now it has conditions so is currently being stored at a private location for a while which is killing me as all I want to do is drive it Big Cry

It is indeed for My Girlfriend but also as a backup/down time vehicle so I can still get to work while mine is having work done- which takes the pressure off me a bit as it means I can spend more time on jobs rather than having only a weekend to do any major work Thumbs Up

But as I say, all will be revealed soon hopefully Cool Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Worth checking but not sure Defender was offered in Oslo blue, think it was a Discovery and Range Rover colour - could be Caledonian blue but check if available in 2000

Oslo was certainly offered on the defender, if I remember correctly it was from around 99-04ish, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2000-Land-Rover-...7675.l2557
Also Caledonian isn't metallic ...

No I think Cairns blue is a lot lighter.

Save all the guess work I will take a photo tomorrow in the daylight and upload so we can all have a look. Thumbs Up Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

If it helps, the 90 below is Oslo Blue and the 110 is Cairns blue, Cairns is a little bit more purple under sunlight whereas Oslo goes a little brighter.
