I remember the car. There were several Schmitts that went down this body finish root. I think they all changed to standard, as they found that some people were motivated to throw stones and otherwise endanger the car and occupants. We were a lot nearer the ending of the Wars then, though. So many more people about who would be disgruntled and fail to have a sense of humour. Even today we still have the Swastika police, despite the fact the swastika pre-dates its inverted use by the Nazis. Try putting a Swastika on eBay and see how far you get. Mmmm, Duck egg blue. One of my favourites. Nearly IC blue! And on that bombshell I will turn into Clarkson.
