I'm reasonably sure it's the original colour. Haven't checked with the Museum, and the colour sticker is missing, but the car was resprayed by a previous owner in 1981 with a note that it was Grigio Chiaro Metallizzato AR-737 which was apparently used from 1969-1978. The respray when it was 10 years old equates to my experience with my silver 1973 GTV 2000 which lasted the same time from new in the Queensland sun before flaking off in large patches down to the white undercoat.
