Your 'classic' dark red, really stands out in the photos and especially when compared to the 'modern' reds either side of it.

I hope your car got a good reaction at the show.

I'll certainly wish you luck with your attempt to hand paint the car.

Given that is my plan too, I'll be very interested in seeing how you get on.
