The only paint code I can find is 314 on the plate under the bonnet, which brings up nothing online. Any ideas?

Is that a 96 escort brochure? What's the colour of the green cabrio on the bottom line?

juice green, think they used on the mondeo

Mystery solved, this is definitely Juice Green.

Between the brochure shot from @stuboyand I've just gone and looked at HMCs original sale thread where he's listed it as juice green.

I'll get some paint ordered up and hopefully have this smartened up later in the week.

Other things that have happened, the glovebox has been adjusted so it doesn't open on every small pot hole now, and some brief investigation has gone I to the airbag light. It's doing four flashes and a pause, which apparently is an issue with the seatbelt pretensioners. Fingers crossed it's the connections under the seats. Unfortunately these are down the side and look a bigger to get to so I might need to take the seats out to get at them.

these are the Greens from the 93 Escort brochure but not sure either look quite right 

plus a photo of an Escort in what I presume is Tourmaline green 

You just dont get colour choices like that any more

Do let me know if you end up wanting a rear silencer.

I just looked up the reg on ecat and its is ,as suggested, Juice green. It also says it was built 31/5/96 in the Karman plant and has the "Magic SVP" special vehicle pack, whatever that is !

Obviously late to the party with the colour name, but I had a late Mk1 Mondeo Verona in Juice green, same (as you now know) on this 'scort.

Quick turnaround on the bodywork / welding, kudos for that!

Good work.
