The final colour will depend on what type of paint you use and most original finishes will have yellowed by now. Modern white colours tend to be too 'bright' and blueish.
I've had a couple of white 'Players No. 10' Roadster paint jobs and and after lots of deliberation have always come back to Ford Diamond White. It was in use from 1972 so is from the correct period.
Thanks for that, i was thinking they may have opted for Old English white.
