hey im in the process of restoring a 77's i want to go original as possible but was just wondering what the actual colour looked like with shiny paint as my car is faded and ressembles a red house brick.any pics would be appreciated.

I've had a Clubby in Scarlet O'Hara, it's pretty much the same as Jet Red, for example Ford Red Flame touch up paint is recommended for both.
Here's my Jet Red Mini after its recent spray job-

Scarlet O'Hara does fade to orange quite badly. My Moke was resprayed with paint matched to faded Scarlet O'hara. Its no very red.
