Good plan. So a standard looking mini with a few subtle upgrades.
As for original colour, would there be any clues around the firewall or under carpet/behind dash?I wonder if you could fabricate bike mounts into a retro style roof rack - this kind of thing:

There are a few colours going on but the thickest one appears to be a light olive green.
That's my plan for the rack, gonna fit something near the front to simulate a front hub so I can bolt a fork on and then a gutter towards the back to hold the rear wheel. + straps. Will likely only use this for mountain bikes.

I didn't expect to as it's got cover sills on that are solid but from what I gather these almost always cover up and exacerbate any problems with the originals.
The plan was to try and get it as close to original as possible but I haven't been able to find out what the original colour was. Some things I'm sure of: 10" wheels, a little bit of poke, no wheel arches, front disc brakes and a nice roof rack.
