yeah quite a funny story, my wife purchased a white rolling shell from portsmouth, and my then dead mex was used for all the rest, anyway she saw a green RS at Donnington and so I took pics for her, got it sprayed using the colour match from the photos to which she said when she saw it, "thats not the colour I wanted" so me being rather miffed, we went down to Halfords and she picked out a can of Peppermint Green, so here ends the story.
Will post pics tomorrow but the car looks more blue than green, should have used a filter.

my pleasure Brian, I used to have a 1976 Carnival Red Mex as well but I know that one is dead.
If only I knew now what I did then I might have looked after them better,
has my first RS at 18, AMD 268 T Black Custom, only got it beacause I received alot of compensation money for an accident. Still thought I was the Badgers Nadgers though.
Ahhh the memmories

peppermint green is an early colour, and (as far as I know) unavailable on RS models.

my first car was a peppermint green 1.1L MK2
