I find that the best place to see the org paint and color is under the thick sound damping material on the back seat area. and vin plates didnt show the dates until the mk3s. mk2s did show paint and trim codes. Im always looking to find at what comm # the heater drain changed and when the rear top edge fender chrome trim changed from long to short. and to think about it... when the heater box changed to fit the speedo and tech cables thru it...

So it is impossible to know what color it was unless there is some unmolested paint still remaining or one buys a BMIHT Build Certificate.

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Spit ownership. By all means, check your cars' info (and enter your cars' info) at, Joe Curry's International Spitfire Database. <http://members.cox.net/spitlist/> That S/N would fit into the 1964 run. Colour and trim codes should appear in separate spots on the data plate, along with the year and month of manufacture.
