    The broad stripe was dropped for a smaller twin coach line in the middle of 1977, at the same time the RS2000 decal was placed onto the rear quarters.
    Using the above as a guide, the colours available before January 1978 were:
    Signal Yellow 77
    Black
    Diamond White 73
    Signal Orange 73
    Signal Green 77
    Venetian Red 77

    Ok thanks
    very informative, so early 1976 broardstripe cars didn’t have the RS2000 decal on quarter
    and I assume nothing on the boot
    cheers

    I always thought that the broadstripe was the only one to have the RS2000 decal on the quarter

    Your reply is incorrect. The RS2000 rear quarter decal was on Broadstripes. Also there was a colour called Carnival Red 👍

    Yep,
    Broadstripe had decal on rear quarter. Was dropped on the two stripe cars.
    Boot decals also different too, and F.O.R.D. on front instead of blue oval.

    Several other changes too but nothing major.
