This one will be either Black all over or white all over ,,NO STICKERS ,,

My biggest regrett was putting the Caltex livery on the other car as everyone calls it a replica when it isnt ,its a race car i built how i wanted it but liked the Caltex livery so did it them colours ,,This time it will look like a std road car other than the wheels

The RS500 touring cars weren't actually RS500's. Teams took new unused 909 shells and fitted them with touring car parts. The same as you did, You could legitimately call it a new RS500 touring car.

Hi Paul

Glad you are doing this as you have mentioned it in another thread!

What is the shell? Is it a Group A shell or 1 that has been built to that spec just it has the cut out on the front wings.

Love that you restor touring cars and are still building Sierra's (race or road) to such high standards.

Also, if you don't mind me asking... do you know of any Ronal Racing splits for sale.

White with ford credit stickers like the other trackstar car that lost its sponser that looked awsome!!!!Who gives a fook whay people think the caltex is fooking awsome and one of my fav 3 doors along with ellie.
The caltex is one of the newest iconic cars. Im sure if you did a poll you wouldnt get many people giving the caltex bad press and calling it a replica
I hope your going to use this one Paul lol

As the Caltex car is a race car, have you not considerd selling it, does it qualify for any race series?
