Number 4.

It's not about being subtle.

4!

It's the only view most people will have - if you get any of the the others, they'll be saying you missed a bit!

Beautiful car.

3 and if you don't like it when it turns up you can give it to me.

Have you considered two blue stripes framing the front badge and the prancing horse at the rear. I did this with two pale blue stripes on a white Alfa Giulia and it looked spot on. It ran from the front valance all the way to the rear trailing edge beneath the registration plate (square). Vote 4.

On the original 250 livery it carries all the way down, so number 4 for me

Thanks, really helpful. Interesting #3 is emerging as a strong favourite, while #4 is popping up too.

Truth is #4 was not requested by me but was assumed by the factory because they know my scheme is based on "car 14" the 1961 250 SWB Le Mans winner. It keeps faith with the historic scheme.

At first I thought it too much but it's growing on me.

For Rubystone, I had considered TDF and have it on my Speciale already (with white stripes) but for the F12 tdf I've always like the "Passo Corto" Le Mans car.

This is the car.

Then it has to be 4.

Agree. For historic reasons and completeness I think you must go with 4. On reflection, the others are almost half hearted.

(Ps first dibs please on the TDF Speciale if you ever decide to sell)

Thanks. It's a big step to put the full stripe on the rear but at least she would be unique (no one else would be mad enough lol). I'm going to keep my options open, #4 is now more likely. First dibs noted on the Speciale, be patient though smile

I wonder if you could get away with older style silver on black number plates. As per my 911T below. That might work really well with the blue/silver? I see quite a few 'newer cars' with such plates, so perhaps Plod doesn't mind?



As you can see, I like TdeF Fezzers!

Not sure I want to risk issues with the Bill but your TDF cars are stunning, the 550M in particular. One of the great colours. Here's a pic of my pocket rocket 458S.

Nice, amazing in that colour..obviously smile. Aesthetically, for me, Challenge Stradale has 'it', 430 Scud doesn't, Speciale does.

I would have said number 3 but it probably has to be 4 with the historical significance. Lovely choice by the way!

Except that you've put them in a different order which should liven things up:-)
