What car and year is it for? I haven't heard of the paint colour Silver Cloud. I have heard of the interior colour Bitter Chocolate it was used on Fords made in the later half of 1979 and 1980 its a very dark brown (a nice colour). Red trim has been available off and on in Fords built in the 1960's and 1970's and possibly the 1950's. If you mean was Bitter Chocolate and Red used together on interior trim I know that on the MKII Escort this combination was available on both the Sport and L in conjunction with the Chevron and Houndstooth trim.

Yes my trim is bitter chocolate with red trim combined and yes it is a 1980 sport, but the colour is silver cloud?.... I would like to re trim as the original does anyone reproduce this interior??? Or do you know where I could get brochure pictures of how the trim should look?

 

Thanks for your info.

No problem happy to help, as its a MKII Escort I should be able to help you further (as my knowledge on these is better than other cars). If you are 100% sure the paint colour is called Silver Cloud then I take it that this is a non UK spec car, as in it was imported to the UK or you live outside the UK. If it is a UK car can I ask where you got the name Silver Cloud from as the only silver available on UK Fords in 1980 was Strato Silver (a very common colour). If it is a UK car, then if you give me the paint code from the VIN I can confirm what colour it is for you.

 

With regard to trim its called Chevron (as I mentioned above) and no its not available from anywhere the only trim re-produced is the Beta Plus fabric (this was used the most for the MKII in many models). Below is a picture of what a 1980 UK spec Sport should look like the trim colour of this particular car is Bitter Chocolate/Indian Red. They did two reds for the Sport, Red and Indian Red they look almost identical Indian being slightly darker.
