White with Green accents looks the best IMO.
Nice car!

Aus was any colour in the normal range for the TwinCam's
UK was white only (although I know of a couple that weren't factory white) Quote:

Have a look in the Technical Resources section of the forums, there are a lot of colour codes listed there so you should have a good chance of decoding the ID plate.

hi there
i use to own a mk 1 lotus escort in whyalla during the 80"S it was an original painted traffic light green with 2 yellow stipes approx 300mm wide, from the front valance,bonnet,roof,boot,rear valance although the car was fast and i ran it hard ,water pumps and tappets were always a problem not many mechanics knew much about them so it stayed for many months in the workshop untill i sold it Last edited by dnorris; 27-12-2006 at 05:45 AM. |
