I have a ford paint swatch book with paints from 1961-69

 

You won't be able to get an exact match by asking someone to ID it over a computer, because my monitor settings won't be the same as yours, or anyone elses, so the shade will differ.

 

So, it looks like one of four:

 

Monza Red/Rougement Red/Dragoon Red. - Code AN-CU

Rochester Red/Rialto Red - Code X

Monaco Red - Code BS

Red - Code BN

 

Darker colours are

Imperial Maroon (which is the same as Jimbobs Anglia), Code AZ

Black Cherry - Code CL

It also has the ICI mixing formulae so if you do find out which it is I can give you the formula.

i had a mk3 fiesta that was a very similar colour, was called "Wine Red" i think

[xpackken]

if its not the original colour it looks like lacquer red that was used on capris but not sure if it was used on escorts .

As Zetec Van said, the colour is impossible to tell on here. I hve a trailer painted Monaco red, and it looks orange when posted here. But the Burgundy Super I have looks darker than yours (mine's Imperial Maroon)
