Having recently watched and loved Ford versus Ferrari I was visiting Total Headturners in Essex UK and was pleased to see that they have recently completed a MK2 replica ‘Ken Miles Tribute’ car based on a one-off (non Dax) Tojero built chassis. Lovely looking thing, sadly out of my price range. Made me wonder how many more are planned or completed, is anyone aware of any other MK2 replicas celebrating this great racer ?
MK2 replica Ken Miles tribute build
- Thread starter Dom1102
- Start date
That’s the fella, I only managed to grab a couple of fairly unflattering pics of it in the workshop in final prep.
Still building. Planned to build a 1016 replica but after seeing the movie desided not wanting to be a part of the hype.. concidering Mercury GT.mk2 now.
We supplied all of the parts required to make that car into a Ken Miles MK2 tribute replica.
Its at Olympia in London this weekend on the Total Headturners stand.
Thanks

Arcadian is correct. The red "flashes" were added at LeMans so the paint used was whatever was available and likely not a Ford code.
No, 1015 is Arcadian and 1075 is powder blue. Very different colors
So to recap...is the arcadian blue a lighter blue than Powder blue then or vice versa?
On my Ford paint chips from '66, PPG12854 is listed as Powder, Arcadian Blue.
Or is the Triumph Powder Blue darker code: BS 20 D 41
Any better paintcodes to differ the two?
Cheers,
Morten

Hi, would you by any chance have the recipie for PPG12854, nobody seems to have PPG codes here in UK. Its like they dont have a clue in the paintshops when I turn up with PPG codes.
I’m also trying to get PPG 22603 antique bronze poly, but to no avail.
Kind regards
