WHAT BRONZE 3000M

[plasticpig72]

I have a Bronze 1976 3000M and the colour code on the Ident plate is marked 30-742M 60.
The car has been repainted in different places and each time it has been different to the others.
If someone can help please, is it Ford Roman Bronze, Saluki Bronze, Lotus Tawny Bronze or what. I would like to keep as original colour. I think it hasn't been repainted in the engine bay but it is very dirty and difficult to see correctly.
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this helps, but I once had an Escort Mk II in Roman Bronze. It's a dark chocolate metallic colour.

I had a 1977 3000M the colour was Onyx Brown by Peugeot (was a standard TVR colour)

Thanks that sounds very interresting with Peugeot Onyx Brown.
I live in Brittany France so i will look into that at a local garage spray shop i know.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lotus Tawny Bronze was correct, as TVR seemed to use quite a few Lotus colours
e.g Colorado Orange
