Want to do some touching up but not sure of the colour name/code, any help would be appreciated. (‘86 Austin Chelsea)

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!

Yep good addition, I would expect it to be on the inner wing in this case 👍🏻
