Poeee did number 79 really go on the dyno? :shock: :cry:
I missed it if it did :cry:



Graham... I love your collection.
I always look at TME with the pictures of your inventory. Very nice!

Comparing Osmond Green to Almond Green... Osmond is a fair bit darker yeah?

Yes willy I would say osmond green is darker, I have another cooper (in bits) that was Smoke Grey (body) with Cherry Red Roof!

Now, that's a rare combo! 8)

No, sorry willy, it's in grey primer at the mo, I think I've sent you most of the others I have on Green and Green cars!

I have some printed photo's of another grey / red car that used to be in Sydney Harris St. motor Museum, when I get back to work, I'll scan em up!

Thanks heaps.

If i go the Osmond/Saxon combo, I will consider doing the horizontal stripe across the bonnet in Saxon green.
I think that would look nice
