[DBSV8]

can anyone reccommend where I can get a replica set of decals made "Team Lotus" based on the Lotus 49 1967 colour scheme.


as shown below.



and paint codes for the British racing Green / Yellow .




As a winter project I have the Lotus 20/22 stripped down and would like to repaint the body in the 1967 team colours
thanks

Try Classic Team Lotus - they might be able to help.

Tamiya (the model company) do a nice 1/20 scale model of the 1964 1.5 litre Lotus 33 - however they probably give paint references linked to the nearest equivalent in the Tamiya paint range.

Ask the same question on the historic sections of www.ten-tenths.com

The original car would have been hand painted with the "decals" done by a signwriter.

Although they are getting a bit thin on the ground, there are still a few traditional signwriters out there that would be able to do this sort of thing. There was a chap based in Upminster called Peter Nunn that used to do historic car livery but that was quite a few years ago so don't know if he's still around.

Failing that, most modern sign companies can provide vinyl cut decals for not a lot of money.

We did the graphics/sign writing on a Lotus 49 for Hall & Hall, altough the main body panels were pre painted before we hand applied the stripes & text.

email me for more details if you want.

Best bet would be to ring Classic Team Lotus 01953 601626 or go to www.classicteamlotus.co.uk

The boys who maintain the Donington Collection would have a thought as well.
