Identification Requirement 3

The Ford Escort RS2000 was originally available in the following paint colours listed below, and demonstrated in the images. The colour of the corresponding side stripes is also given next to the colour. The paint code is listed on the cars chassis plate under "Colour", where the Ford code will be listed. The colour is also mentioned on the AVO plate, which provides an additional point of confirmation.

• Sebring Red (Ford paint code: DN or N / Ditzler: 72076, Du Pont: 42588LM)
