I have gone for an original chassis but alternative box-art colour scheme with this one. Everything is as standard and in excellent condition. The chassis has been rebuilt & re-greased where needed. (Have yet to paint the wipers for all you out there with eagle eyes!). The decals are custom made one-off's from Screenprintdigital & the paint scheme is Peugeot Salamanque Effect, which looks great outdoors!

The paint is old solvent based paint (ChipsAway/Dupont) that I am trying to use up because I have switched to waterbased. The lacquer is from my Aquaclear waterbased system (but is actually still solvent). I don't bother sealing the decals, I tried this with my first restoration with disasterous effects, must be the lacquer I use!
