Original colours
« on: January 17, 2015, 20:50:46 »
Hi all
   
   Can anyone help me. I'm replicating an original thames Ditton 427 Cobra. Not semi competition model. I wanting to ensure I stick true to the original colours. Looked at various sample pictures but not sure what is original. Was there ever a silver / grey? If so does anyone have a image? Any help would be much appreciated.

CSX3173 was returned to its original color. It is a silvery blue. The SAAC Registry lists it as "1965 Lincoln Silver Mink".

Dan,
   
   The AC Factory Ledger list the car (ex Thames Ditton 8 Sep 65) as 'Silver' as does Shelby American's 7 Jan 66 invoice to Archway Motors. Only Cobras shipped unpainted and finished in the US had US colour formulations as original.
