Yeah SteveP is his ID, it might just be worth asking the question on the main Inters thread in the Shows section! :happy2:

Welcome

There are only a few of us on here with Pirelli's. I will also be at Inters over the weekend so will look out for your car if it is on the stand.

I hate sliver the only colour I could get at the time

More of a dislike than hate lol

May get it wrapped in pirelli yellow, if I can be seen driving a yellow car around :jumpmove:

True

Although I do use Swissvax Devine £1300 worth

Only done 1 side will finish the car off today at some point

It's the comment that Clarkson made about yellow cars though as it always sticks in my mind

"You wouldn't wear a pair of yellow trousers, so why drive a yellow car" I know it's Clarkson the font of things car related but there are some cars that can pull off being yellow and some not ie Ferrari's

If I see one in the flesh it may change my mind

I always thought that the yellow ones were only available on the continent

There was only ever 222 imported in the UK Market makes it a rare car

That is correct, I dont know the history of the one which was on eBay but it was RHD!
