Old F1 Liveries for project car?

[retrosport1785]

Hello all. Been watching archives of Formula 1 from the late 80's early 90's and I reckon some of the liveries such as the SASOL Jordan of Eddie Irvine or Schumacher's Bennetton ford from 1991/92 would look fantastic on a project car.

Currently looking for a E30/E36 BMW project car and reckon the Bennetton paint scheme would look fantastic on a coupe or dare I say it a convertible. (cossie yb conversion would make it more authentic)

I am I alone on this or is it just too much sugar after dinner.

I think you're right about the colours: not sure whether it needs to be F1 though, the old Listerine colours or the Tic Tac schemes were really impressive in my view. I'm not a purist, though, would love to see it.

As a pedant I think you need to use the liverie from a BMW powered car on a BMW. A Benetton Ford colour scheme needs to be on a Ford.

Always thought the Brawn colour scheme was really effective

Fairly easy (if the car is already white?)

Yeah didn't the Listerine livery grace Sierra RS500's as well as the E30 M3 and yes Brawn colour scheme would be relatively simple to replicate. Definitely food for thought better get cracking.

Yet another thought the Benetton Ford scheme would better suit a Escort RST Series 4 or even a MK2 Escort.

Btw has anyone checked out the YouTube footage of the 1989 Birmingham Superprix. Touring cars at one of it's greatest era's in the Midlands!
