Can’t get to the boot, log book just says “blue”
Is it Helios blue? I can’t really see what else it could be, based on the colours available in that year of manufacture (88). However, either the picture is terrible or it’s bleached loads from the sun over the years. If I look Google pictures of Helios blue cabs I get a whole spectrum from deep blue to something similar to this.
Can anyone shed some light please?
Cheers

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Ye looked at that, thanks. Just looks like VW used the same colour code across various shades of Helios Blue

Why can't you get to the boot of the car as that's where the label is with the paint code?
