Original wheel colour

[70-CA-Panel]

Hello,

Does anybody have any references to wheel colour options for the different models an years?

I can't quite tell what the original colour of my 70 panel wheels were. Either black or white.

Where these the two standard colours? Did panels come with a particular colour.

How about hubcaps, did panels have chrome or painted hubcaps?

Thanks guys.

Andy

Wheels were only ever white. For a 1970 model the wheels were L 581 cloud white and hub caps L 70 grey silver.

I've heard people say that only commercial bays had grey hub caps, but my 1970 brochure has grey hub caps on the Westy Campmobile. Does anyone know the modern equivalent/ RAL colour to cloud white and grey?
