It isn't Orange!!!!!!
The other one wasn't Purple either!!!
One of the new ones will probably be green, very green.
Another new one is green too but not as green as the previous one. Still pretty green. No, now it's Blue.
The other new one will be white with stripes. Actually it might not. No, it will be.
BUT, that one is definitely Yellow :=}

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
I know there's been debate about the stripes as the car doesn't have any fitted currently. I'd imagine that if it did ever have any then they have been removed though this has left no mark. Ian and I discussed this at great length last week at our meeting and we drew no obvious conclusions. Any conspiracy theories didn't add up either!
One thing's for sure you cannot blame Photoshop as it didn't exist back then.

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
The engine and crank are in the kitchen. New stainless exhaust arrived today, in the conservatory along with lots of other bits and pieces. I'm in the process of refurbing the carbs which are in the utility.

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
I think they did well to last 10 plus years, most cars would be well gone by then and of course back then the cars were not really recognised in the way they are today. Reckon only VA6 and the Kitley car still survive, oh and VA1 of course but that doesn't really count as it's spent most of its life in the museum.

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
Found another picture of FRW 802L, this time at Silverstone during a press day perhaps?
Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
Well,
been busy with School inspectors for the last year or so but (almost) back in the land of the living so - time for an update.
We did the NEC in 2013...
