Ask superbikedan,if you provide him with a good pic he'll be able to sort it for you, also try Andy (58delray)as he loves his Murry's

Is there any original paint on the bike?if so take it to your local bodyshop supplies company and ask to have a look at blue colour swatches,you will almost certainly find a match,take the swatches and frame into the daylight when you do it though!

Speak to Meticulous (Sam) as he did a real nice Blue Team Murray and matched the blue to perfection

my Team Murray had a Sugino stem on it the one with the crown logo , still got the top of it i think, a lot of the finished ones i've seen have a goosneck stem on ? maybe different spec between us and uk models ?

thanks for the replys
unfortunately there is no paint on the frame as its been sand blasted .

as for the stem on the murry it did have a gooseneck on it when i got it (many many years ago

)
i am looking for a picture of one to see if i still have the origanal in the boxes of parts i have
from when i was a lad .
been searching around my sheds and found the origanal crank/ pedals/ lester mags /and handle bars . im amazed i found so much of it after slmost 30 years of it being stripped down .
i have still got to find front forks /tires and a front brake (may not have had one origanally) and a seat for it .

i thought restoreing vws was fun
