Regards colours of escort cosworths, i am led to understand that
the cars were hand built at Karmann,and the production line was not
like other ford production lines,i also remember from years ago
someone who bought a new escort cosworth from the rsoc rejected
it as the paint was iffy from new,so he looked at the dealers other new
ones and found the paint was not as good as it should have been.
was a German geezer just wafting the paint on by hand in the factory
or was it robots, i dunno

i think quality of paint is far more important than just a nice colour
