Much as I love bright, shocking shades such as Magenta or Inca on a Sprint, there's much to be said for the "stealth" approach. After all, who'd expect to be overtaken by a brown car? :D

That's subtle, but looks perfect from where I'm sitting looking at its image and yes, with the car in daylight it definitely appears spot-on for hue, your having been particular about the paint clearly paid off. Gorgeous finish there.

:thumbsup:

Excellent Derek. If we did not know your track record we may have thought you had borrowed Reg's Russett and swopped the plates for a photo shoot

Coachlines look rather nice......

I know its churlish and uncouth to talk money in a public place but given the cars history and past celebrity owner,
knowing what you paid him for it and the work you've done since and what top drawer Sprints can make...

You've now got a 6 grand car there I reckon...
