    I actually still think the Alitalia scheme is one of the best, and I'll never knock anyone who goes for it. It just seems a bit too obvious...not so much worrying about being parked next to one exactly the same, more about being a bit more original (if you can apply that term to a replica, or a paint scheme that you're copying )

    Absolutely. The reason there are so many speaks for itself.

    Craig,
    All your captions are correct.
    The one with John Whalley and the rear panel open, was a newly built Hawk, bound for Japan in 1997.
    I seem to remember it had 4 stud Image coffin spoke split rims.

    Just one on Gerry's stand John.

    The only cars you're probably going to see on display are Paul Hassall's and Struan's.
    'Less likely to see Vince's, Ian Gear's and Nico's Alitalia cars?
    I think Chris Ellis' car has surfaced lately?

    Re: Stratos theme

    Talking about the one on Gerrys stand, where can you get the safari tyre holder and bullbars, or are there any designs that I can reproduce hanging about?

    Vince's has been out and about recently, He's been spotted on Instagram at the Stoner Supercar Sunday a week or so back.

    AFAIK there are no designs knocking about for these. David took photos and measurements from parts in Biella on a sister car and had them fabricated in the UK. Gerry may be able to help with the roof mounted carrier though?

    Of course it is! I was fooled by the wheels. They look gold in that photo.
    And yes, I wasn't thinking about the cars on the manufacturers stands at Stoneleigh, just on the club stand.
    In the cars lifetime it isn't going to be parked next to another one a great deal of the time! Worrying about comparison is way down my list of priorities.
