My 74 had a silver seat logoHope this is not too far off topic. Did the black bikes with gold trim tank and side cover come with silver Norton logo on the back of the seat?
I bought a year old commando, black / gold used in 1973 and seem to remember the seat logo being silver but not sure. The bike I have now ( made July,71 bought in 1990 ) is black / gold but not original color had a fiberglass seat pan and gold logo.
Yellow wasn't a standard 850 Mk3 colour.Was Yellow used in 1975 on the Mk III 850 Commando's?
How important is it to have a correct color, I know on some cars it matters and others it does not matter. Ferrari for instance which you would think original color would be paramount it does not matter. Alfa Romeo's are expected to be original color same with Packard which is the reason I ask. I like Yellow and want to have through acquiring or restoring a mk III in yellow preferably. ThanksYellow wasn't a standard 850 Mk3 colour.
What colors were used on the mk III I also like blues, reds but not real keen on silver or black.How important is it to have a correct color, I know on some cars it matters and others it does not matter.

For selling it can be somewhat important. If not planning on selling, you should do whatever you like.How important is it to have a correct color, I know on some cars it matters and others it does not matter.
