Catsh*t beige??

Arianca beige.
It’s next to catsh!t beige in the colour flip chart

Thanks, I'll be sure to look it up!

Not a big deal as there is not a lot of interest in the Elf/Hornet on this site....(there is a nice forum just for them).

What forum is that please ?

Tried to register for the Elf forum last year, received email confirmation of my user name & password but never able to log on. No reply to my emails for access. It does not appear that much happens on that forum!

"Not a big deal as there is not a lot of interest in the Elf/Hornet on this site....(there is a nice forum just for them)".

Looking at the "last posting made" dates on the Elf / Hornet forum, it would appear that there is considerably more interest in them here than there is on their own forum.

Just saying.

Someone I used to know converted a Hornet to a standard Mini Mark 1 and deseamed it F&R (vertical, not roof). It looked bloody lovely on black as well.

I think the Elf Hornet fraternity are still after him.

The Elf / Hornet forum activity is now mostly on Facebook. Personally I don't think it works as a forum and much prefer this site.

Simon Goodliff driving my Hornet at Goodwood on Friday. Overheated but we’re onto it.

Looking good Pete.

What was the over heating issue?

[Pete]

Crystallised old coolant/antifreeze clogging the system, binned the rad, hoses and pump, new valve seats and now good to go, thanks to Nick Swift. . We’re in the ‘group of death’ but with some luck we stand an outside chance of making the final but not expecting to! Here’s Phil testing last Monday...

All good fun.

Glad you got sorted.

Have been following up on some early cars and have verified 2 of the 10 pre-production Hornets. No sign of any more Elf's yet.

Were they fully deseamed like the early Elves?

As Davids photo of a later Hornet. Only the A panel seam was smooth.

Thanks for clearing that up David.
