    I can't remember exactly but it will be an RAL colour; Google for a colour chart.

    Does grey predate the red chassis colour Colin?

    I guess it was a RAL as it was powder coated... Found the RAl colour charts on screen but this does not help due to screen (not calibrated) is not in the garage!!!!

    Anyone know???

    I think we offered a choice ( limited!).
    You could always ring Spyder in Peteboro', they are still in business.

    I see?
    I've seen photos of this car:
    http://www.stratosec.com/Forum/showt...light=Kr%E4mer
    with a grey coloured chassis and no removable bar at the back of the engine cradle.
    I think it was post Beta wishbones though?

    That car is the original Transformer prototype/demo car and its chassis was painted grey unlike the first production cars which were black. Since being sold to Germany it has had a few mods/updates! Originally the engine/trans were mounted on the donor(beta) subframe and was fitted from underneath, so the car didn't need the rear bar to be removable.

    I see? That makes sense now.
    I know that car is the very first one. It must have gone through quite a lot of chassis development, very early on? A test bed?
    I understand there were two other cars with the Beta subframe (No. 2 and No. 3?). One a purply blue, which ended up in Scotland, and the other in Chequered Flag Mintex 1976 livery.

    Purply Blue?
    Is that the ex-Justine Moore, ex-Simon Dickens car that Mark has now?

    Mark, as in Mark McCaughran?
    So Justine Moore and Simon Dickens are the previous owners, John?
