Hmmmm there are quite a few.....But a bit confused Daniel...

In your heading you say your 'favourite 7' ..... but in the message body you talk about 'favourite colour schemes'..... totally different subject! ...

Which is it? .... as if it's colour, then that is everyones personal opinion, hence there are many different colour 7's ....

Favourite colour scheme doesn't equate favourite 7.....
Nor does favourite 7 equate favourite colour scheme...

daniel mason - 17/1/10 at 09:53 PM

just the car you think looks best really! whether its colour schemes you like or a sparkling engine bay.lol. just your favourite


contaminated - 17/1/10 at 10:05 PM

PAUL FISHER - 17/1/10 at 11:09 PM

I think I took that picture a Newark show last year,its Steve Keenans S2000 Indy R,the side vents/panels are just standard Indy side panels turned upside down,it looked great with its twin exhaust tail pipes out of the rear. Rescued attachment braun mk indy.jpg

Hmmm, hadn't seen Trev D's.

They are on a par


TimC - 18/1/10 at 08:59 AM

There's lots:

CBR_Tony's ST, Sorens2's MNR (although I dislike the headlamps), Fozzie's Fozziemobile, The Dyno-rod Orange LA Golds (pre race-rash), Fesycresy's old Mac#1 for sheer tidyness and of course my new build.


Fozzie - 18/1/10 at 09:38 AM

+1 Tim ....

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, hence my earlier post, and I still say favourite 7 and favourite colour are two different subjects....

But I do appreciate that there are those who only look at a colour of a car, and there are those who only look at the build......as with the subject of this thread, it depends which 'floats ya boat'....

Take the Fozzmobile ....to see the pictures, and apart from the ali, she looks green .... well, yes, that is the predominant colour ... but.....at different angles, and it does show in some pics, there is a lot of blue in the mix, and in sunlight (what is that?...lol ) you can see a lot of gold ........that doesn't show in any pics.

If colour or colour scheme is 'your thing' then, not everyone likes green,gold and blue... .... and as she was sva'd 6 years ago ..... what was radical then isn't so much now!

If it is 'build' then again it is an individual thing....some like the retro look, others don't and like the modern look......
Some like the fact that everything comes from a manufacturer, others don't, and like a mix, and others build everything from scratch. ......

Sorry, but I think the thread is a bit of a wrong'un ....
Surely a build and colour/colour scheme, reflects the choice of the builder and what the builder/owner prefers and likes.
That is why there are so many variations of our '7's ....

Everyones car is a testament to them, and signifies a major achievement......

All the above.....IMHO of course...

Steve Hignett - 18/1/10 at 08:21 PM

My favourite "color" for a 7.

Mostly as it's not a color - it's ALL CF
