Is the colour altered by the artificial lighting do you think? Half the RS3100s seem to be here in Australia and I saw one in Orange once and it was a richer orange like that pictured compared to the tradition Capri orange like the Australian one below.

The RS3100 wasn't available in orange. Options were Daytona Yellow, Sebring Red, Diamond White, Modena Green, Olympic Blue, Stardust Silver and Marine Blue, they all had gold decals similar to the RS2600 but with the words deleted from the bootlid.

Then is definitely the Sebring Red coloured one I must have seen then . I remember seeing another car marked this colour before and thought thats orange not red but it was under fluros as well. Still think it qualifies more as an Orange than a red though. You have to admit? (Focus on the colour if you can) Edited May 8, 2018 by Rally Pack 2000 Woops I didn't realise she wasn't wearing knickers!
Admin Vista Posted March 28, 2018 Admin Report Posted March 28, 2018 Yes, it's often said about Sebring Red.

Highly recommend repairs as below to achieve a silky smooth result:

Aspects of the front grill and lights certainly look like they have been photoshopped as many other parts. But its certainly based on real photo of an Australian Mk1 buried in there.
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Moderator Report Posted May 8, 2018 How to spot an Australian Orange 1/ The XXXX Beer flag (Choke) 2/ The crappy plastic mirrors 3/ The classic Australian Escort C pillar. Astronomers need to need not look to the skies for mini "Black Holes". Orange really isn't the rust disguiser its made out to be!
