Best F1 Car Colourschemes ever ?

With the recent talk around the gorgeous renault anniversary livery, i thought i would start a thread to see what peoples favourite colour schemes of the past and present are. I don't think we have enough good colourschemes these days (with Honda's diabolical earth car etc) but you still get the odd one. Anyway fire away with your posts, i will get us started

(Try to keep within the forum regulations for posting pictures please, nothing worse than a 56k connection and opening a thread full of huge pictures - thanks)

First choice is the 1993 Lola. There isn't many good photo's of this around, and we all know why. But i just thought it was abit different and is one of my personal faves of all time

Next up the hugo pratt livery Ligier. I'm not sure why i like this,as sometimes i look at it and think what on earth do i see in it? But something attracts me to it, and i think its again a different looking colourscheme. Again i couldn't find a brilliant picture of this one

Mclaren next, but specifically Marlboro. The picture is the 89/90 Mclaren, but im not really specifically relating to that particular model. Marlboro in my view will always have a place, especially the old Mclaren (penske indycar) livery.

Now again, not particulary reffering to this renault model, just the general old renault colour scheme

I have plenty more, but i thought i'd get us started with those

(PS i checked with the mods as to whether this belonged in historical motorsport or current F1)
