Colour of our oldskoolfords

[Posse]

If you had a choice of colour what colour would you go for ? there are so many colours out there would you go for a ford colour or would you push the boat out and go madness

[zetecmk2]

no

[banarama]

i might go for a brighter yellow next

[Escort Mk1 4 Door]

bimima blue (i think thats the spelling) oh my cars that colour

[dalmarshall]

I'm colour blind so I dont care

[PCOE]

I'm not biased at all....

However I love Blue Mink ..... Especially on a old Cortina ,)

 

So when I eventually respray it.... That's the colour it'll be

[frankthefencer]

I have got the tin in the garage I will dig it out and find the name of it and the paint code.

What car is the colour from?

[BaileyMex]

I think it depends on the car

 

I'd keep a rare model in its original colour but with a standard base model as a blank canvas i know i'd go for something different

[glenbo]

id go for silver with black stripe kit

[w p e]

white looks good on vans and they blend in well and you can carry your stilts in the back aswell

as the stellas

[silverstreak]

maybe a bit brighter orange

[Bigfish]

Lipari blue, a bit different but with a classic feel

 

 

[stuartp]

i went for a modern mercedes silver on mine

 

 

but that was because the guy who painted it was mad keen on doing it that colour, i spent months agonising over it and even though it looks pretty good i'm still not 100% convinced

 

 

i was mostly going to go for british racing green (maybe with a cream roof) as i don't think i have ever seen a mk1 escort like that but what i also considered was fiat broom yellow (same as the cinquecento i had at the time) or if i hadn't had a mate who already had an orange one it would have been bright orange

 

 

it's hard with escorts as there aren't really any colours that you don't see fairly often at car meets

[Tom E Cropp]

Definatly not to everyone's taste but I'm pretty pleased with the colour of my anglia, certainly stands out! Haha

 

[Lil Bill]

Mercury grey or dolphin grey!

[frankthefencer]

Is the colour of your Anglia a Ford colour Tom???

[Tom E Cropp]

No it's a Lamborghini colour called giallo spyder and the brown is an Aston Martin colour

[garyv6100e]

I would love to see a MK1 in lamborghini orange / green / yellow Mmm

[aden]

mercury grey

[flyingbanana]

i hate having to choose colours....most have been well over used...took 2hrs to choose my mini colour,and was still a rush in the end as he was waiting to close shop

 

 

[mk2 mike]

My car is a Toyota colour, Garnet red mica.

 

 

Still not sure if i like it, I'd like something brighter like Focus ST asbo orange.

originally i wanted my mk1 escort red but couldnt find the shade i was after, then decided on a type of grey, then i realised i quite like bubble arched mk1's in white

 

...now ive just seen this im back to red again

 

on a serious note i absolutely love a car unpainted in patches of primer etc... the unfinished 'work in progress' look

Strange i know but i would be happy to keep my mk1 in red oxide
