Headlights original too and right hand drive so presumably came from UK?

That is a very nice car. No blasted headlamp washers to spoil the line of the bumper! Nice.

Colour looks like Petrol Blue which is darker than the State Blue. It does look the same as my old Scorpio which was Petrol Blue. Nice colour when polished up.

Thanks for all your kind comments. It is definitely dark green but exactly what the colour is or was called I do not have a clue! Car was brought over from the UK by a guy who lives not far away from me so yes, right hand drive but running now on French plates. He had it up for scrap and it certainly did have some irritating electronic problems due to water ingress. Nevertheless, it was in far too good a condition to contemplate scrapping so paid around £150 for it. Sorted out the problems eventually and she is now running perfectly.
Both bumpers has recently been replaced The front one came from a Cosworth I understand. My wife did the back one in and then a French car backed into the front one in a supermarket car park then took off without leaving a note. I will not repeat what I think of him (or her)

Dark metallic green is most likely Tourmallard.

1x 1997 Cosworth Ultima state blue owned since 2001. Only do about 4k/year now (not short journeys) but with 106k on clock it still shifts like .... when I want it to
Best car ever owned. A couple of excellent mechanics I use when things are beyond me always say "this is a great car, you must keep it going". And why wouldn't I?
Broke another (cossie facelift) a few years ago for spares.
