One of my old minis was a '67 royal mail van replica. I'm still have contact with guy who bought my car and he is planning to restore the car.

Might be worth dropping Royal Mail a line, it'd be good PR for them.
I guess the colour ought to be post office red, is there no paint code to look up?

when your ready i can help with stickers - I have the royal crest already on my machine and the PO font is a pretty generic variant of a font I have. At that time these would have been signwritten by hand, with paint and brushes, so you may want to consider a pro-traditional signwriter to keep it authentic.
