1965 Flavia Zagato colour challange

[DavidLaver]

There's a 1965 colour card on ebay at the moment.

What are the names of the Flavia Zagato colours?  I can make out some but not all.

Would it be possible to get a photo of a car in each colour?

David et al, see attachment for a scan of my copy of this colour chart, it only has a limited number of the colours on as it is a snap shot at a point in time i.e. 64 / 65ish and the colours kept changing i.e. this chart does not cover all the possibilities - just to make things difficult. So you are ready for paint...............................

Bill Amberg's Flavia Sport is painted in Grigio Inglewood and is my Fulvia Sport 1600 (it was that colour when I bought the cars so I continued with it when I restored the car albeit only using the Zagato connection as justification).

BTW this is where we meet for the Essex monthly meeting (on third Wednesday of the month) for those yet to get to it!!!

Does "arcoveggio" mean anything?

Would that be the red on the HFs?

Not ready for paint - other than another bucket of rust killer and primer.  I still expect it to be restored to "as it was when it came off the road" and would love to know the exact shade of metallic blue its in.  Could it be this one?

David

Can't find any meaning for arcoveggio - doesn't mean to say it doesn't have one.

Arcoveggio did appear to be used on Flavia Sports and Fulvia HFs i.e. on 'works' cars in that period - see works Flavia Sport in Chuggas's Fulvia thread.

Who knows what colour your car ended up but this is the nearest period colour as used on a Sport.

[DavidLaver]

I've seen that photo of chassis so many times and not noticed the car...

So....what year and colour name would that be?

David

[vigzag]

may be the same as the Trautmann car and as Richard Thorne did some restoration on this car he may know the colour used

[DavidLaver]

Same car in the daylight.  That does look close. 

I keep trying to come up with routes that "just happen" to pass Richard Thorne's to look at that grey one he has at the moment.

David

[DavidLaver]

This one less so.

Having had parts books out to look at subframes I stumbled on the colours page.

The TAV lists Bleu Jamaica Lancia code 6984274 and 837-96257 DP (Dupont).  I've found it mentioned as a Fulvia colour: DP 847-96257 on the webpage:

Anyone got a colour card with these or photos of cars?

On that same page GL 94-LAN-203 described as "Blu Jamaica Scuro"

On the subject of colour Ford "alpaca beige" and Rover "arum white" are recommended wheel colours.

I've got some colour cards for these. I've got some Fulvia colour sample sticks from the early '60's and a Glasurite catalogue that shows GL-LAN 203 as well. I've not got the paint mix though.

From about 1970:

Also, Jamaica blue metallic is listed in a 1975 Glasurit catalog. It is noted as from 1969, without formula:

Thank you !!  The FUR interior would be quite a thing.  Any photos out there of a complete interior?

For Bleu Jamaica someone thought the Cliffe's Fulvia HF was that colour.
