  The version I’ve got is Pantone 301C blue & Pantone 165C orange. Not
  sure if this is still current, as these were done a few years ago.

  Peter,
  I’ve looked through some swatches and I can’t find anything dead on. However 3 are closeish. I hope you’ve got a Pantone book.

  Hexis S5000 S5298B Lakeview = 2905C ish
  Metamark M7-177 = 283C ish
  MaCal 9800 Pro 9839-44 Pastel Aqua 2975C ish.

  The picture you have is for this year’s Le mans cars and looks a bit lighter than the blue used on the GT40’s, Mirages and 915 Porsches. I do have access to an ‘original’ GT40 in Gulf colours if that’s any help, although I need to ask to get access.
