Hey,

This car is made quite some time ago.
I saw it first time in world meeting at Finland in 1993.
Back then it was really nicely colored, it was painted whit 2 different
different shades of matt blue. I dont really get this "new" paint job.

I like the very back end and the steering wheel. The rest looks like it was done in a hurry. Crudely cut off door posts and windscreen, rear door welded shut, etc. Needs (and deserves) more work.

Wow,

I could not believe that page where this photo was is still existing!
I was there already right after world meeting 1993...
I remember that this picture used to be big on my screen back then Laughing

I think it was way better before:

Indeed, that's much better! I also like the little blinkers on the front wings.

The front doors are toooo short, the roof needs to be further back and lower and the screen needs to be much shorter with more rake.
Better in Blue though i do agree.

Hmm, look at the AZU in the background. Big windows in the back, two little windows in the sidepanels and nice soft colors.
