Nah mate, it's actually alot more purple than that, crap picture scanned before the days of digital!! It's Jaguar Racing Purple (the colour from the Silk Cut LeMans car). Would like to re-build it again, needs painting again really, made the mistake of painting it ALL purple instead of undersealing the bottom etc, plan to mess with the engine more then (turbo?) as it was my first car I had to keep it sensible-ish, is mental fun though!

Oh, I don't have the same size 'issues' as you, fair play mate!!
