Hi Daisy
It's your car, paint it whatever you want & because you have a sports van, you can get away with some rather outrageous colours as many vans were used for advertising back in the day. Let's face it, the standard '20's and '30's paint colours were rather conservative.
The Million Morris Minors were painted Lilac, that's not a bad option for your van, pale Lilac vs pale grey on the body. Not too much of a stretch away from the current pale grey & would certainly stand out a bit from the crowd - but then your Sports Van will do that all by itself regardless of colour. It really is very unusual and strikingly pretty.
From experience I can tell you that choosing the final colour isn't easy, I've changed choice on my current project at least 3 times and I'm sort of doubting my current choice as I type. A few sketches in different colours will ultimately bring your creation to life. Then you choose your colour and go for it.
Fantastic to work with your Dad, it's precious time together. My Dad & I got the green single seater running again on Sunday afternoon. It needed some repairs following the Simola hill climb in May.
