Guys if you were to fill a lwb combi with filler and blow it over what period late 80's livery would you go for...... got a taste for somthing with martini stripes myself but what do ya think - any 80's rally support links i could peruse would be cool too. Cheers Andrew 8)

As long as you don't actually put up the brand logo, I don't think there would be a problem. Aside from this, I said this about the Ford blue oval when we did the Forum logo. General consesus seemed to be there would be no problem, and one year on no law suit from Ford's........

i painted my mk2 escort in the red/white marlbro colours 8) - was in the year mansell drove for mclaren :D
I thought i was unique but when i got the video stroy of the mk2 escort there was one identical at the beginning!!! :lol:

i doubt very much any company would be bothered about copyright, would the court battle reaaly be worth it? and they would be getting free publicity!! :D

Andy,

Assuming we get the bus through the MOT as we discussed today we are going to be spraying her ready for Barcelona in September.

I quite like the Texaco and Rothmans ideas, time to decide and source the paint I think. :D
