Great! You will find a lot has changed for the better, in the world of
Triumph spares.

I didn't find the type of codes you mention on my '79, they are numerical.
e;g; my car is Carmine Red, code 82.
(see http://www.vtr.org/maintain/paint-charts/index.html)
Maybe yours is White, code 19?
Anyway failing that, if you have a white bit of the car that you could
bring down to a modern auto paint supplier, I'm sure they could do a dandy
job with computer-matching!
Good Luck.
