Given that S1's, S2'S AND S3's look reasonably similar (except under scrutiny) and that the generally accepted opinion is that they look better in darker colours I would suggest an S3 in BRG, Cooper Green or Mica Blue would be the most popular option. The diversity of interior trim would require a thesis to make a decision.. but cream and a bit of walnut would seem fine.

In any event they are beautiful cars so I'm sure you'll have a market for all but the most bizarre of combinations!

Anyhow.. great idea and count me in for a purchase, ( unless of course you decide on a chocolate brown V8)

Good call.

Steve.

Grey S2 for me please

[HarryW]

If yopu intend to do a BRG version of the V8S, may I suggest that on a model metalic colours do not always look right due to the scale. However for a true BRG that looks good in scale and could be passed off as black in the right light conditions, Brooklands Racing Green may be a better colour.
Obviously only in the interests of getting a better model for all to enjoy, I also hear that a flint grey interior goes well with it too .

Many thanks for all your feedback.

I will bring along a couple Alfa's we have already produced as example cars at the next Mid-Essex meet to show you the kind of quality, paint finish etc you can expect. In most cases the final production model ends up with a better paint finish than the real car (certainly in the case of early Alfa's).

At the moment from analysis of the feedback given an S3 in mica blue, cooper green and monza red are favourites with V8's very close behind.

In terms of interior we will stick to black or tan with a walnut dash.

Finally, we will make both an S3 and a V8S as I love both cars anyway.

Cheers

Another vote for Cooper Green S3 here please - should make me a lovely 40th birthday pressie.
