Real vehicles were predominately Yellow or light Orange, so not sure what Lesney were doing with the model's colour.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Red on a Ferarri is the national racing colour for Italy as Green on a Lotus, Jaguar and Bentley is the national racing colour for Britain and Silver on Audi, Mersedes-Benz and Porsche for Germany.Brad Pittiful wrote:ferraris are mostly red...at least red is what most people associate ferris as...why did lesney paint the #75 berlinetta lusso in green until the SF era then they became redGHOSTHUNTER wrote:Real vehicles were predominately Yellow or light Orange, so not sure what Lesney were doing with the model's colour.

Non racing colours were always available on Ferarri, Jaguar and Bentley cars, but through these teams racing success, the general public want their cars in the racing colours, so more of those were chosen when new and used on public roads.
