Looks like Blueprint to me, but I could be wrong.

Yeah that's what i thought at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, and picturing it without the stripes, and realising it's out in the sun, i THINK it's blueprint.

Once again i think it's the stripes making it look lighter. The Rapid of the BAII next to it is extremely bright too, i think it's the sun/camera making it look brighter than it is.

But now, with all this indecision, I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND.

If the car is a Mk1 it is blueprint, if Mk2 it is velocity, look at the badge on the back (in real life not in the photo)

Mk11 wheels. But I remember that some new colours were out before the model actually changed.

Its Blueprint, and they are Mk 1 18" wheels. Blueprint was dropped for Shockwave during MkI production.
Paint codes are ; Blueprint UU
; Shockwave W5

Very hard to tell ... depends on the camera and lighting at the time ... Blueprint can be made to look like Velocity.

It looks like it is a very bright day in the first photo ... normally though Blueprint is darker than that shade.

If looking at that photo though for a colour preference for paint .... and you want that shade ... it's not what Blueprint normally looks like and you will get a darker colour than what you might expect ... if you get my drift.

I wouldn't go off that photo for a colour match.
