As above, I know you could get signal yellow, but can you also get amber yellow on an RS2000?

the colour is signal amber (78)
the best colour for a mk2 in my opinion
Cheers Ders.

In full agreement with Ders, the best colour - I had a signal amber mexico (xan 150 T) 25 years ago, of all the mk2's I've owned that car is the one I regret selling the most.
Regards
ps Thanks for the info on the flat front in Cornwall.

I recently sold my Signal Amber Mexico, It's the best colour for sure, especially on a flat front car.
I was never going to get the time to fix the old girl up - so someone else has got all the fun now :D

I've got a can of Ford spray paint for it (still in my garage) and I'm sure it says Signal orange 70 "something" on it as well as signal amber.

Normal signal orange has a bit more of a red/pink tinge to it than signal amber (I sprayed some in the boot to test the colour out ) I'm not thinking of Signal Red '80 either by the way (just in case the Gimp is watching) :D
