1985 landrover 90 factory colours.

Toms820 · Jan 22, 2023

I’ve just picked up a factory v8 90 from a friend. I’m trying to find the colour options from 1985 as I’m planning on giving it a full on restoration in the next couple years. It’s currently a weird light blue which I don’t mind but would like to have it back to factory spec colours but can’t find the colour options of that year.

cheers Tom.

Possibly shire blue

Windjammer blue perhaps.

I believe that’s the later colour blue and wasn't around in '85. It's also the same colouer as "arles blue" I think.

Thanks for the reply’s. Was there any v8 only colours for that year. I know Java green was but can’t find out anything about any other colours.

We’ve had our 92 110 since new. After about 1 yr the paint started coming off vents & was resprayed under warranty. Landrover never did get the colour match right even though they went off the original build specification. I wouldn’t hold out to much hope of getting an exact match

Don't know, I would have assumed any of the normal colours. Mine is a 1989 V8 and was Arles/Windjammer blue.

My 85 V8 110” was blue. British Gas blue from the works(special build)
It’s was a bit too light for me so went dark blue
