Do it Dingy - as the cars look soooo cool in the period colour scheme!

Just be careful.....Beacuse on some UK tracks cigarette advertising may not be allowed soon

Cossack paint job would look better than the Rothmans one:


Or 1978 Mintex Allied Polymer Li-lo livery:


Or even Bjorn Waldegards British Airways 1977 RAC winner:


Rothmans ones are a little too much for the road.
