Maroon paint code

Wondered if anyone had a reasonable modern paint code to match the maroon that Alvis used. My car is maroon (glasso 119897) and is being prepared for a full respray but have no idea what shade of maroon to use. Some have mentioned that Jaguar used a maroon similar in the period (1948) and others have suggested Triumph Damson which is similar but twenty years later.

Had the rear of the spare wheel tray scanned and a pot of paint arrive by return which matches both the lid and my memory of the car when I was small so very happy. Still do not know the paint code but the local paint shop can make me a match from this anytime and I shall now spray a small flat sample to sort out any future needs.

Hi Quentin,
We did HAX816 the TA14 that went into the Classic car Loan Project in Triumph Damson which was very close to the original colour.

If you are getting it scanned and formulated.make sure you hang on to the formula.
