Default Re: Ford Colours....Wow.

I'm going to miss all the bright colours the Australian cars had.

What was the light metallic green the SX Terry came in? (It's in the Wheels review from 2004) I liked that one.

And was Fantasy that dark greeny colour that changed hue depending on where you viewed it from? Could go bluey at times. Late FG timeframe.

Others I like depend on the way the car is fitted - extra chrome, GS stripes really set it off.

eg XW GT in silver with orange stripes, black vinyl roof & all chrome
eg XY GS in that Teal colour
XA GT hardtop in violet metallic with white trim, wow
XB GS Fairmont in Apollo Blue, white or chamois trim

Special mention to Diamond White, a cool bluey white pastel colour.

An XE in white with the S pack was always distinct, great visual pack that one.

ED XR6 in Cobalt blue
ED XR8 Sprint in Polynesian Green
In fact any of the Tickfords up to AU1 with the red striping (black on some colours) - really sets off the era

AU Fairmont Ghia in the deep red burgundy or the Gold, nice
BA XR6T in the dark purple (Phantom?)
BAII F6 Typhoon in Lightning strike, iconic
FG 335 GT in silhouette with big gold stripes, nice
FGX in Victory Gold

I'm also a fan of two tone combos: original Terry TX, late BF Fairlane with the subtle grey/gold lower in white or black or Ego.
