You may well be correct. I will test it shortly. I now have two Vixen
S3s (always useful for MoT purposes: did I say that?) and can compare
the two. The new one is white but the reg document says its yellow
whereas my restoration is (Lotus Elise Norfolk Mustard) yellow anyway.
Its a superb yellow and good qaulity modern paint.
Has anyone replaced the glass in the window frames: bugger of a job
I must say. There are some horrible bits of bodging to make the
window frame including nasty brackets to hold the triangular bit
in!
