I have what I believe is a March '59 coupe and I am trying to identify the og colour - any help appreciated.

Og has been gone over white then red

Also, I believe the car was originally shipped to South Africa - thanks

It looks like cognac, you can see it up on the firewall where the tarboard has cracked.

Nice colour combo

Thanks Rich & aerosilver

I now wonder whether the white that is under the red on the roof may be original?

I think it might look pretty good with a black roof too.

I have had this car for about 12 years and it is now on historic reg eg. you get to drive it 90 days per year, got to keep a log book and insurance is cheap!

Currently doing up a '63 15 window deluxe microbus so my aim is to keep the ghia and restore it 'later in life'

Thanks for the replies and the pic!
