Help Required for Formula 27 Yellow Colour
Steven Baldwin - 10/6/15 at 06:37 PM

Hi All
I have a factory built formula 27 in yellow.

Seen a few pictures of the same car with the same colour

Does anyone know what the colour name / code ref is?

Cheers

IIRC it's this one .
Can dig out an old invoice if you still aren't sure.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe10

Thats great - thanks

Are you restoring the gt6 mk1?

GT6 was a Mk2 which I'd owned for more years than I care to admit to.
SWMBO had two accidents in it - they were pretty lethal in the wet thanks to a big lump up front, not much at the rear and rear wheel drive.
After the last "incident" I rebuilt it but then circumstances (kids, mortgage, own business) meant it stood for years untouched.
About 3 years ago I decided to resurrect it but she was adamant she wouldn't even passenger in it.
That's the reason I bought the hairdressers and really don't regret that.

Finally sold it to an enthusiast in the NW who started a chassis up resto but he's dropped off the radar (Chris H where are you now?).
Looking at what they are worth now it might have been better to keep it but you make your decisions...
Cheers, Pewe10

Just been and bought the colour - so will let you know how I get on. Cheers for your help..

I have previously restored x4 triumph spitfires and made a gt6 mk2 convertible with a spitfire tub on - that was fun.

The reason I asked was that I have a full set of chrome trims for a gt6 in my garage roof.

Hi Steve,

I guess it was you who emailed me through you tube about the F27 paint.

Glad to hear you got sorted. Can you let me know if this is the correct match, as I will be needing some soon.

All the best and stick some photos of your car up!

Hi Matey.

I have replied to the email that you sent me via you tube - however when checked this morning they have bounced back.
I have quickly uploaded a you tube video of my car to give you a feel of where i am up to - will post another later when have bolted the bonnet back on and can lift to show engine..

Would be great if you could pm your email - as you know your car better than i know my car, hence i would appreciate some help / advice advice from you ..

ps. The colour is not an exact match, however very close and does the job I was after for the time being..- will have to wait till the car is on the road and take it to the paint shop so they can match it..
