Pretty sure had a respray at some stage at the current code on firewall is CI2.

C12 (i haven't heard of) 
that colour it's painted doesn't resemble a ford colour i'm familiar with, but it could be C12? for all i know (see if you can find somewhere that might not have been painted, like under the C pillar trims or behind door trims or places like that for the original colour.

Thanks alot.

Here's couple photo's of my firewall tag. 

Most of the car in pretty good knick paint wise & are shortly getting the bonnet/ boot redone. 

Also doing full interior reupholstered;so taking door cards off could be a tell tale sign for sure. (not letting me upload photo's of the boot)

yeah, it's not a familiar tag to what the Aussie cars have, so i wonder if it's even a NZ spec colour possibly? 

in Oz there were "fleet colours" which say a brand like the post office or gas company etc had their own particular red or blue, or a particular green for the Army(bland solid colour, not metallic like yours)

 

try uploading your photos with tapatalk app, or copy the image address from facebook or another forum if you have any elsewhere(right click on mouse, copy image address and paste in the text here if on pc/laptop)

 

the bonnet pic is good enough to show it's not Heritage green (Dark green from an EL falcon etc)  and it doesn't look anything like the polynesian green/blue of the EB ED etc falcon, so i'd say it's been painted in some other colour (might be Jaguar possibly? or just some random mix) 

 

i'd consider stopping by a paint joint and just asking if they can match it, most i've been to would want to do a "spray out" anyway because an eye match will usually be not close enough for a perfect match of a full panel only (aka not blended down the guards etc ) 
 

you could see if oldschool.co.nz has a specific paint code for fords listed also i guess? as that tag is far different to the aussie ones, and if they were painted different colours there, they may have a list.

Tags are a bit plain to the a standard plate a dean said, plates where near the shock tower not the firewall. NZ may had different or may just be someone mad up. that colour you would be better with colour match, to many variables for a a code mix.

Hey thanks so much for all your imput. 

I took door cards off today & had the previous door cards from last owner that had some subtle hints of purple in places. 

I'll probably check oldschool cars & posted on XF FANATICS. Also seen the firewall tags on the Australian factory XF's ,quite a big difference

Thanks. I won't chase it too much longer & will probably just leave it to the painter. 

Are looking forward to the minor restoration & interior reupholstered
