I've a hand built 'Condor' lightweight hanging from the rafters of my workshop. Another restoration project.

But to get back to the subject - and to get away from the welcomed joccularity - for the last time of asking, does anyone have the paint codes for the Lotus BRG and yellow colours of those single seaters. I am building a old style three wheeler and have reached the stage of deciding upon the final colours.

OK, what I've come up with so far, and these refer to early Lotus paint shades, are - British Racing Green (LO1) and Lotus Yellow (LO7). Whadya think?

When did Johnny Vegas ever drive a Lotus; with tractor tyres on the front and Wellington bomber tyres on the back? ;)
