Can anyone please tell me what this small crossed checkered flag sticker is on the side of Jim Clark's Monza winning Lotus 25 chassis R4 is and has anyone got a better image so it could be recreated ?

Looks like crossed Scottish and chequered flags to me, but that isn't definitive!

It looks like a combination of the Scotish Cross (mid night blue and White) and the checkered flag!

Would it be the old SMRC badge, or the badge of one of the Scottish circuits - I seem to recall an enamel badge which looked something like that - Was it Ingleston?

Fabulous models on your website, by the way, James. Wish I could afford one.

Alan. Anyone thinking of purchasing one of James models would be well advised to contact Hugh Ruthven of the Finishing Line inc Barrington Il 60010 USA,as he has personal experiences of James models and the service that he offers.

Seems like this guy originating the thread has finally got himself convicted for several counts of fraud & theft - 2 years.

I reopen this thread for two reasons. 

 

1. Does anyone know the whereabouts of this reptile? 

 

2. Does anyone on here recall an enterprise trading as The Victoria Carriage Company?

 

I believe there may be a family connection...
