Inside painted, hope to paint the outside tomorrow and refit it to the chassis on Friday when I have a bit of help, it is not show quality and never will be but I have low standards! I got the paint firm to make me up a couple of aerosols at the same time for touching up etc.

Old English White?

Good choice, looks great with a red interior.

Absolutely love that colour, it very much brings back great memories, brush painting Milk Floats with my old dad, one of my early lessons I remember from back then, we used to have them all cream with black mudguards and battery boxes, they looked really smart, especially made the signwriting stand right out.
