Some photo's sent to me of the first 2 cars painted. Setting up the paint masks for the 'C-stripe' was a challenge to get them close to original but they worked out very well in the end.

Hi Richard,

My father owned a 1987 Renault LeCar 5 speed. I think he paid a cheese sandwich for it.

Whether it be a car or a steak...

The roof & sill stripes on GT102 were Black (roof stripes 0.5 inch x 3.0 inch) but the nose was painted matte Blue. Wimbledon White could be the main color, the Blue not sure.

"BP removed Chief Executive Tony Hayward from day-to-day oversight of the Gulf oil spill crisis a day after he was pummeled by lawmakers in an appearance on Capitol Hill, the company's chairman said Friday." AP
