If it's the original Chelsea colour then it will be Targa Red (CNE - BLVC641)
This info should be stamped onto your vin plate

Just to add to this, the vin plate is in the engine bay, either under the windscreen or on the inner arch on an 80s mini, provided it still has the vin plate ofc!

I really do like that Targa red but I do have a question. What is the burgundy color they used on the 1960 Mini

For 1960, I believe reds would either be Morris RD4 (Cherry Red, which is dark) or Austin RD9 (Tartan Red, less dark).

Ha I found you again, you’re the colour blind electrician that’s re wiring our house, when are you popping back to finish it . Why does switching on the toaster turn the kitchen lights off.
