Can anyone help me please. I am trying to restore my 55 Oval and I would like to know the colour name/code for the steering wheel, seat frames and handbrake lever. If anyone knows, please help me. Thanks Ben

Think it may be the same as my 58, being L471 stone beige. If not, maybe light beige L75

Hi Ben, As it happens I've just had some paint mixed to repaint the seat frames etc on my January '55 ultramaroon oval. I can't determine the exact VW shade of beige but I've got the colour matched from the indicator switch housing. My friend has a '54 oval in L41 black and his interior metalwork is exactly the same colour. If you need the name of the place where I got it mixed they'll have it on their computer now. I may need to go back to get some more mixed anyway. Cheers, Andy.
