Black or brown, depending on the age/factory in which the car was built I think.

its a perennial problem it never seems to get listed i had a small pot of rustoleum which was almost there

Ford Rio brown is too dead it really is a burgundy "Rouge Opera" was the closest when a Scottish Dyane owner got it scanned.

Why not? This is just a guess, but I'd say 1983.
