Hey has anyone got a sample or picture of a EK in 4677 - Cottesloe cream?

Thanks

Can Anyone tell me if Fernando Yellow is actually Green in colour,
we have an FB that has the colour code 9702 which appears to be Fernando Yellow
and the car is a light green with white in the paint out section along the doors.

Also on the same I.D. plate there is a body number and I take it that this is supposed to match the body number on the drivers side inner guard
ours doesn't,, oh im so excited now, maybe it has had a new front at some stage, will this give me a headache at regency?

Thanks feel better now, just have a green car that should be yellow, well the plan was to paint it yellow anyway so I guess its all good,, thanks

Well tonight i have polished a few sections of the car and it appears to be yellow in one type of light and green in another so I guess it could be the pale yellow but also looks green sometimes

Satellite Yellow has less of a green tinge then Fernando Yellow.

That is the colour for sure,, amazing it looks so different in day light, I have been telling everyone we have a pale green fb and all along its been Yellow, My memory isn't the best either and when I was telling people I couldn't even remember what the colour looked like, I was telling them it was definitely pale green but looking at it today its exactly the same yellow as the pictured one above.

I hate pain medications they really stuff up your memory, well many of them do, Thanks for the pictures it has really made it sink in

And I used to think it was so funny when my wife couldn't remember things that were plain as day, now she has a better memory than me.
Long term memory is fine, only certain things just drift away

Your welcome Steven. Here is a reverse pic of the Satellite in the foreground and the Fernando in the Background ....

Please let me know your Body number and chassis number, as you must have an early FB

Steve

ok it is

Body FB 225-2057 - A
Trim 340-886
Paint 256-9702
insert 256-9640
Top 256-9702
Chassis (inner Guard) FB 3477-A

Is there a way to find out the year it is, I thought it was a 1960

Hi Steven, your car is around March 1960. Thanks for the details. When you have time to post a pic of the tag and chassis number, that would be great.

Thank you,

Steve

Here is the body tag and chassis number

Thanks Steven, have you got a pic of the body? and engine number?
