I believe Udo's car was built by Autokraft on one of the Paramount Films chassis. This would put it in the range of COB 6128 - 6132. As far as I'm aware Udo sold it a couple of years ago - not sure to whom. Last I heard, Udo was living on the on the East Coast of Portugal having retired from Ford to live there. If you want to contact him I am sure I can get an address. Not sure what the colour is.

Hi
Thanks for that information, i wouldnt want to trouble him with a trivial question like that. I just wanted to match the colour, the blue its painted really stands out.

I have received information that this car is actually painted in a former Porsche color.... it could be Cobalt Blue which was a option on 911s around the late 80`s to early 90`s .

Pderouss:

Beautiful blue color. Thanks for posting the picture so quickly. Isn't your car BMW Mauritius Blue (my other favorite)? Which blue do you think looks better in person?

Thanks

Thanks for posting some pics. The car looks stunning in that colour
Does anyone know who much a car like that would be worth? i know is one of the paramount chassis`d cars. I notice that Rod Leach has a COB5000 series car for sale now with a Southern Automotive 482ci engine. Wonder how much that is ££££$$$$$.
