Thank you for the complements on the colour. My choice, but not my "design"
When I ordered my Cerbera, I chose, the colour from a 2" square sample, the result was a rather uninspiring "Nail Varnish" Maroon.
Therefore when I was specifying the +8 I had already made the decision to go two-tone, but was not going to risk choosing a colour from a small paint sample again. So I asked on another forum for examples of two-tone cars. The response was pretty impressive and I ended up with a library of over 80 colour photos of two-tone cars. The end choice was between this combo and Black and Silver, obviously I went for the Blue.
I then contacted the owner of the original scheme who was pleased that I had chosen his scheme and very kindly provided me with paint colours. Very sadly his car was destroyed in a crash and fire that nearly took his and his wifes life about 2 months after mine was delivered. He did however manage to persuade the MMC to build him a new body shell in the original colours.
That car is now very well known in Mog circles. It is the Phoenix owned by Lorne Goldman of GoMog fame.
My +8 Bitsa has many parts, including the front wings, from Lorne's damaged +8. He had the undamaged parts preserved and shipped them to Me. How I got the other parts for this +8 is a story in itself.
