Another good spot that has been mentioned before for a good original paint
sample is the underside of the heater core access plate (where the hood/bonnet
latch is located). I believe this was painted top and bottom on all Series (at
least starting with S.II) and rarely gets touched on the under-side during a
re-spray. A nice thing about this part is that it is easy to remove and take
the paint shop for a color match.

Black S.II also wanting to be color 53 again someday.....
