The red (Abarth) and orange (1600 Special) cars are normally kept in a locked dry garage, but have been temporarily moved onto the drive so that the building works can continue to my home - hence the scaffolding Wink I'd rather they got wet for a few days than were hit by flying masonry or splashed with wet plaster Shocked

The green car is my 'spares car' and has several very nasty holes in the floor and the front of the rear arches into the box sections, and is probably past saving Cry. Thing is, even though I purchased it for 'scrap' I'm extremely reluctant to break it as mechanically it's so sweet and it only has 19k miles on the clock Cool

Those colours blend together nicely Si.

Love to see more detailed pics of the 4 doors cars - I've only ever seen snippets of them.  Grin

Maybe it's time to figure out stacking those 131 like in the volvo ads to save space , Simon? Grin
The green car most probably be at the bottom since it is going to be as spares? ?Undecided  Cheesy

Must admit Baja that I hadn't thought of stacking my 131s quite like the Volvos Cheesy, but if I get a few more (as I probably will over the coming years) it might just solve my parking difficulties! Wink

I've always thought that the colours were good together too Kev. When I get a few moments I'll take more pics of the Specials and post them up for everyone to see, although the green car is especially poor Undecided My orange baby is still very good though and has a Guy Croft re-worked head. Cost me a small fortune but well worth the money in terms of extra performance Grin

The CD 68 wheels do come up on ebay from time to time but as Gremlino has already stated they are seriously expensive. There was a set of 4 recently for sale in Australia, straight out of the crate and un-used which sold for almost ?2,000 sterling iirc Shocked I have never seen copies either.
