There's even a pink one! (Z1- sort of pink...)

The Calder and Stella CSLs along with Warhol M1 are pretty special.

Steady, Gordon!

Actually I'm amazed that 3 other people have voted for the Roscoe Racing livery, as it should only mean something to two people! Great livery though!!

Roscoe Racing is the title I would have given to my own racing team had I ever had the wherewithall to own/run one. Roscoe was the name of our dear old English bull terrier that the family had whilst the boys were growing up. Hence only myself and Kev would have any idea what it represented; nevertheless, since I put Clive's suggestion of Penelope Pitstop Pink, I felt the urge to put my own 'imagined' livery in as well!

Aha; didn't tell 'em.

I even have a team roundel in my mind which features a side view of his head.

I see that pink seems to be winning which just shows how seriously we are taking this and how seriously Tim should, too.

As a thought, and in keeping with the 1960s, why not the last (I think) colours of Redex Gold Cross oils who semi-sponsored me for a couple of seasons.

The colours would be dark mauve (or purple) with a gold stripe from bonnet to boot.

I have decided that I don't give hoot what colour/colours Tim paints his car, it is none of my business, and I should not presume to try and influence his decision. To do so could be interpreted as arrogance, or even patronising. I will just wait and see, leaving it to Mr Falce's good judgement, no doubt it will all be done in the best possible taste.

If you do eventually decide to go for pink Tim, how about a few body modifications to suit.... like this one :

Begone thou scurvy villains who are extracting the urine from Tim..

Tim you need something that is totally different and unique from all your compatriots and makes your car stand out from the crowd. Marshals will love you for it, you'll get better service if your car is very distinctive rather than any shade of white with a white helmet ...ditto blue, green, black...etc. Try something fluorescent or the vivid paint that used to change colour depending on what angle you looked at it.

That's what I've always liked about yellow and I've always been inundated with photographs of it since I changed the colour from red.

Hmmmm, maybe just freshen what I've got.

Ken, I used to own a few Capris and Sue always called them pricks on wheels so I've been there before.

Speak to the tobacco company they may even sponsor it!

Something bright but not garish, modern but classic.....

How about going from Lemming to Orangutan (give it a few minutes) :
