Hi Bernard,

That is really great!!
Very nice color combo. Would you be so kind to share both codes with me?
I want to spray some samples to make a choice for my cv8.

Thanks in advance,

Anton

Lovely combination. Reminds me of this 541R with a Jaguar engine:

First Deep Carriage Green then repainted Red by the factory. Brave decision to paint it in those colours...

If I remember rightly, Colin Riekie speculated that it had been repainted red as it "made it look faster..." before the disc brake testing commenced.

Re VUV 105, the next time we see it it may be fitted with a rather special ds5 engine.

Ps it was originally a DS7.

Seems that there are some interesting engine builds on the way

Makes perfect sense!

Very similar colours to VUV Both look great I think. Mine was blue before this restoration
