Ah, good point, Max, I had not considered that. My personal favorite Mark I 
color is Iris Blue, BTW..... With gangster white wall tires and wire wheels...! 
Oh well, my '65 B project is going to be Tartan Red since that is how it left 
the factory back on October of '64...
 
I wonder what the most popular Mk I color was? Too bad Clausager makes no 
comment on this. I would still bet on Tartan Red, since it was available from 
day one through the end of the 1969 model year.....

That's because they have been REPAINTED in BRG or Tartan Red, both of which
are more popular today ... You're in the rust belt, remember? Out here in
CA, there are still a lot in their original paint, and it seems that a large
percentage of them are Pale Primrose. Still, I know of several cars that
have been color changed from PP to BRG.
