So the intrigue deepens. We’ve looked at what we consider to be hidden areas of the red and it looks to be the Maserati Fuoco and an Italian brand of paint actually lists this as Maserati De Tomaso red.
but
we’ve discovered gold!
in fact it’s a very light area of gold like paint behind the dash and in corner of underside of roof behind headlining. Denis, your large wheel of colours doesn’t show a light gold but Lee the ISO wheel shows a light platinum ‘ champagne gold.
Now I really don’t want to go pay a stack of cash for the factory archive / build sheet records when all the previous owners I can trace (from 76) say the car has always been red.
do you guys know if below headlining and behind dash was painted body colour, primer or black? I’m now my car, a late 4 headlight car was one of the ones finished in Germany as has numerous features of those.
we’ve looked below spine, behind door mounts, underneath of screen and they all show red but my guy thinks they were painted when it was bare metalled.
