Hi,
I need some help with restoring a ERF Horsebox.
In the database the color of the box is described as tan.
What is the RAL-Number of tan?
I always paint with rattle cans.
where can I buy a can with matching color.

Some new models arrived this week.
Special thanks goes to Jason who sended me the Bedford bus, the two MG´s and the Ford Anglia.
The Bedford bus is not often seen here in Germany.
The Porsche is in quite nice condition with only few pics on the front.

...and a well used Cream coloured Ice Cream Van. Will you restore this back to how it looked when new or leave 'As Is', because of it's status of being a difficult to find model.

The Austin Taxi is ready now.
I had to paint it twice because after first time adding the silver trim I had silver fingerprints on it. :oops:
