Royal Plum is the colour. It would look best IMHO with the La Plata Silver stenciling.

There is a whole range of 'purples' out there.....but be carefull!

As my painter said to me when i suggested purple....."most ppl who paint their cars purple, are sick of it within the first year"!

He was right! It is a difficult color to get right!

Cheers, Col.

Toranavista is on the money, unless you are thinking of a more violety colour called "Ultra Blue"

Royal Plum is the colour.


Royal Plum Metallic would be more precise right?

Was the colour available in SL/R 5000's ?

I've had my RPM SL/R since high school and haven't got sick of the colour, it's a talking point and many people like how rare it is.

A lot of them were painted to other colours.

My brother painted a LH sedan 10+ years ago Wild Violet( GT Ford color ) with the usual blackouts ,flares and spoilers

It really suited the lines and shape of the sedan nicely

Orchid Metallic is a sweet colour.

Not sure if it was an option on the LX (I know it was on the LH though).

Another very rare purple available on LH Toranas is Cyclamen. I owned a 1975 poverty pack LH painted this colour & i think the colour code is 567-15945 but i could be wrong & i'm sure someone will corect me if i am.
