I think original colour code should be on the ID plate on the firewall and any competent paint supplier should be able to match it for you.


Great find by the way. A Landau is a sweet car with all the right gear and will be worth plenty in time IMO

On a different note my ZF came from Mildura and despite being 35 years old is almost rust free. Must have something to do with it never raining up there.

thanks Myts. the code is on the ID plate but I am trying to find the colour. the number is 4, i think the original colour is green but what shade of green is the big issue at the moment.
Hopefully the Landy will value like the GT's hahahahaha I might be sitting on a million dollar car one day hahahahah I wish

Hello everyone...

Ken from Maryborough Q.

I have a EB II multi point and a newly aquired AU I. I also or more so ride a Suzuki SV 650 S (yellow).
I was going to get rid of the EB, but now I am thinking of fixing the few things that it has wrong and keeping it.

Might see you around sometime.

Welcome, I'm a fellow cobra owner, only a 99'though. Should get some pictures up of both your rides, would be cool to see.

Hiya Jesus, and welcome to the forum

Check out the show and shine section for some pics of our homegrown Ford product.

How'd you get a Focus to do an 11 sec pass?
