this is the baseplate, looks ok to me but could be wrong !! I did think the front smaller front lights looked a bit on the odd side being painted in silver trim, but if the door handles have been painted in, whoever did them did a great job. Sun-fade, I don't think so, but then again could be wrong[/attachment] Need some help to identify the Ford Zodiac on top which is also the same model 2nd from the left MW version that appears to be a lighter shade of sea green. Have looked up the color charts and it seems to be closer to the blue rather than the sea green. It also has plenty of silver trim, even to the door handles. It all looks factory to me but would like the expert opinions to confirm exactly what it is, if possible. On the other hand it could be just a different shade of sea green with more trim. Well aware these models at times get overpainted with silver trim etc, but to me it looks like original work, in my very "humble opinion".

The separate front side light at each end of the grille were rarely (if ever!) painted in silver.

...add to that the fact that the door handles are also trimmed, and alarm bells start ringing.
Any chance of a photograph of the baseplate rivet?

Just wondering if this could be a partial sunfade. (We know that at least some early Lesney greens fade to blue.)

Sometimes it is very difficult to determine a colour or its shades and even more difficult is to find a proper name for this colour, so that everyone understands it
