53 Superfast Ford Zodiac in Lime Green

Post by jsherwood »

Hi,

Nick's website lists the final run of the Superfast Zodiac in Lime Green clearcoat over white primer. Have a look at the one below I've just found. I can't see any evidence of white primer, although it does have the 10mm wide wheels with enlarged arches. The underside of the bonnet shows no primer either. Anyone have any examples with white primer showing?

(By the way, the lime green isn't as bright in hand compared with the images)
Thanks
John

Hi John, I only have one in this colour and I've checked it under a glass very carefully and I can't see any signs of white primer.

There's nothing regular about wheels
