Glad you had a good time Richard. Andy and family were at the Boston rally on Saturday in the Renault powered Tiger plus the Kliensniggerer rep. They must have covered some ground this weekend!

A great rally and wonderful to meet so many enthusiasts. I wonder if the lovely looking and newly restored Mk D Tourer that was there will start a trend in polychromatic paintwork. I'll post a picture a bit later.

Ooh eck! I await the first 4 pot Minicar and rear wing with trepidation. Bring back the orange and black fluffy Isetta, all is forgiven, Martin Surggeson!

yes rustychrome it was wasn't it ! funnily enough it didn't win a prize i dont think . mine will be the polychromatic green as opposed to this blue , as mine was originally . oddly Bond colours at that stage were polychromatic ( similar to metallic ) for the standard cars and flat colours for the deluxe - odd innit .

Oh that's alright. I thought you meant some disgusting spilt Vimto colour with added oil effect that seems popular on enormous willy sports cars and modified Euroboxes. Early Schmits came in several versions of pre-metallic paint including Aerosilver, which is analogous to this Bond finish. The problem with the Schmitt finish was the paint was brittle and chipped off. Despite all the Schmitts left those colours are extraordinarily rare. I must admit I was a bit worried that Bonders had lost the plot, of all people.

i believe this is the messerschmitt colour as it is a very close match to the original bond colour

Not an expert but A no suspension at rear so slim mudguards rakish slope to rear panel . B sliding pillar suspension , no shocks , so deeper mudguards. Also more upright rear panel giving more luggage room behind front seat. C/D same shell as each other but C 6volt and pullstart and D 12 v and starter motor . Different grills etc. But interim models. Have I got that right ?

Trying to sort my photos out and the C & D look mixed up.
The back wings (mud guards) have a detail line on one but not the other.
The front grill might be the same on both but I also have a picture with a different grill.

(C on the left of the three has a different grill?)
