H-AN6 cars were not available in many colours, Black, Iris Blue, Speedwell
Blue, Signal Red, Old English White, and your Deep Pink, which is the only
colour not shared with other Spridgets, yet another reason to retain the
correct original colour!
A final suggestion to match the colour - if the rear plate light has not
been disturbed, you my get a colour match from it. As I said earlier, any
good paint shop will be able to colour match - and it worth it!.
Best of luck,
Martyn
