that colour looks more like my steel grey metallic, which does seem to have a strange bluey overtone :s

Yep. That'd be mine. The colour code translates as Lavender but actually looks like a metallic grey.
'91 Turbo, manual and currently for sale on ebay. No idea how to add the link, sorry.

Let me have your email Steve and I'll send you some photos.

I've got a 311. They do look pretty grey, but under flourescent light you can see a hint of colour. I'm hoping a bit of polish and tcut should help.

That's my old girl and it did used to look Grey until the sun shone on it.

They did do that colour on something else. My '91 300 is a 311, and I've seen 3 that colour, all '91s. Thought it was only a really tiny batch of paint! Is this a common colour on a 400?

everyone apart from quiz-master chacks knows it's "Lavendel"
