I'm intrigued now on one of the classic XR colours being GT Gold . There was one here for a fair while well into the 1970's I think .
Sprintey ...This was my BA Fairmont Ghia ..Mint Silver or Ice Mint Silver..I always called it the former but you could be right . ![]() ![]() Sometimes I wish I had of persevered with her .. Last edited by roddy1960; 18-04-2020 at 02:21 PM. |

It's a Throwback to the days when every large (& small) Company could order a "run" on vehicles an Any colour they Wanted.. For example in Red you could get . International harvester Red, Linfox Red PMG red. Winfield Cigarette Red. . & heaps of Other. Otis elevaters ,Rothmans, IBM, Remington Typewriters All had their own colour.. & who could forget that "sickly" Sydney City County Council Greeny/turquoise.. |

The bus is a work in progress, been living in it for 8 years. Bought it as a motorhome with a nice fit out, but a lot of work needed bodywise and elsewhere. We have done quite a few mods to it as well. If your interested the story is here https://www.facebook.com/dstinationunknown/ Fair warning, it's quite long and will take a bit of scrolling to get to the beginning. Cheers, |

Some great colours out there and already mentioned.
B-series and early Territory models had a great range of colours for modern vehicles. Another mention is Velvet in the FG range. That was classy and not often seen.

Without literally counting every line . It worked out to be 23 sets of colour names and codes per 157mm...There were 60 sets of 23 give or take a slight overlap and a couple left over , and no doubt some that got missed there are approximately 1380 Ford colours not counting the GT colours .
Told you all I was bored . or stupid or both... I also might have thought my Telstar was called Emperor but now I'm not sure ., something is telling me that this old girl was actually Regency Red . ![]() OOps.... Last edited by roddy1960; 18-04-2020 at 08:59 PM. |

There's a bloke here a bit like you . His bus is a Clipper and he bought mostly restored but has added a lot more to that and he's taken her , and his missus , to various places on mainland Australia already . She's a bit of a celebrity at our annual Car , Bus and Bike Show every June ..Except this year of course unfortunately due to an insidious little virus.. ..Here's a clip of last years show done by a local car filmer . You'll see a snippet of Russel's 1950 I think former Ansett Clipper at about six and a half minutes as the presenter is talking to a XY GT owner is also a nice jigger..There were only two buses there last year but sometimes there's a nice few . Russel's is the blue one ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKhhxnMSV_A&t=14s .. Here's a bit more about him in the local newspaper from a while back . Geez he loves his Clipper...https://www.examiner.com.au/story/24...ch-wheel-nuts/ ...thanks again for the Facebook link to your lovely bus . Last edited by roddy1960; 18-04-2020 at 09:50 PM. |

Not quite. Colour is called Flair. I have only seen two or three cars in this colour, it was like a orange/bronze/maroon combination not too all tastes. Much like this one..........
![]() This colour is called Wired. I remember reading a post on here many years ago about how the production line workers did in fact call it baby shyte brown.

Love the old Clipper's, parked up next to one in a caravan park in Victoria one night, beautiful green one, had a chat with them. Love the old jimmy V6's singing away too. Thanx for the links and info. Cheers, |

Oh My God...the second image (GT-P)....I'm in love . That's incredible . Would love to see one in real life . Official colour names of either , don't really know . But the GT...She could live in my shed anytime...
Another question without notice guys . Has the colour of a car ever made you think twice about buying it or being a deciding factor why you bought it . ? . Last edited by roddy1960; 19-04-2020 at 09:34 AM. |
