All, Try as I might, I can't find an example of a Saba Blue Jensen. My JH-5 was originally Saba Blue. There is some evidence of that in areas on the car but I can't get a feel for what it looks like externally. Is it referred to by another name in the States? Also, does anyone know where I can get the paint code for Saba Blue? Thanks Jeff Jarvis 20465 |

I've never heard of Saba Blue. The usual JH blue was Malaga and some cars (mine) were Pacific Blue. There's always someplace they forgot to re-paint. Look under the dash and around the hinges. Last edited on 11-19-2011 02:45 am by Jensen Healey |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsRnUeSaFaA I'm color blind and have not heard of Saba Blue either. I thought my car was blue but everyone is saying its purple. I should call my car barney if its purple. A big purple dinosaur.. Hehehe... Attachment: IMG_1345 (Medium).jpg (Downloaded 51 times) |

I have heard it referred to as Pacific Blue myself. I thought that was the correct color (the Malaga blue, pretty as it is, is more "Petty blue", for lack of a better way to describe it, than dark blue...my car has hints of a dark blue). From Richard Calvers web site, it appears only 12 cars were painted Saba Blue and those all came to the States. I will keep hunting. |

Thanks Somebody. I would have to agree that you have a purple car! Pretty though! That second U tube video is close to what I believe was original on my car based on the paint in the door jambs. |

I believe that is nevis blue, check out this web site Greg has a picture of my car in that color or go to the Delta site they have another, or give me your e-mail and I'll send a picture. It's a metalic blue that came on a few late JH's and some GT's. Brett |

Thanks Brett. I had noticed those pictures before and wondered if that wasn't the same color. it sounds like our cars came off the line around the same time. I will send you my email address. A picture would be great. Jeff |

Richard Calver sent me the following regarding Saba Blue: Paint manufacturer is Ault & Wiborg, code ACR 31101/M. I post it here for posterity. My thanks to all who responded and to Richard via email. Jeff |
