I think the Aeromax wheels help the look... they hint at the traditional spoked wheels.

Also I feel the +8 is quite colour sensitive: Brian's Rocket Blue highlights the almost Art Deco look of the car, as does the Rolls Royce Bronze on Tarka. I don't think lighter colours work quite so well.

We are both very fortunate to own such wonderful examples of the work of MMC.
It is hard to believe that Tarka will be 5 years old in a few weeks.
