This seems a simple enough question ,but what colours would the works service barge (monte carlo rally)plaques be.
I am only interested in the four years that the works minis won 64-67...Ive seen red(which im not sure is correct)and a blue coloured one(which im told is the right colour,and did not change every year..

Ive asked on another forum ,and recieved zero replies...its for a little project

[northern monkey]

Heres the project...or at least a part of it

From my collection;



I also have a 67 one, but not a pic of it on my work computer, I'll have a look this evening.

PS, The little project looks FANTASTIC!

PPS. The wood grain on your garage floor is MASSIVE

Looks like a model on a table to me

Strikes me the service car plaques are colour coded to year, so you can't re use the previous year's plates

Agreed.

whew thank god I haven't had the vinyl graphics done for the shipping case...Id been told the plaques were all the same colour....basically its the service plaques for the years 64 through to 67...and just those please.
there will be a reproduction of the plaques from the winning mini and the service barge plaque from the same year on each face of the shipping case.....and this will be going inside it

[northern monkey]

A couple more...it took a while to carve and paint all of the details correctly..just got to cover it with snow now..

Looks fantastic!

Thank you everyone for the help, you have just stopped me from making a very costly mistake....I was due to go to the graphics people in the morning :oops

So its green for 64,blue for 65,Red for 66 (would it have been the special centenary plaque on all of the 66 service barges ?)

just need 67 please...


THANKS for all of the pictures of the actual plaques used,they are truly appreciated...THANKS AGAIN

It might be worth contacting Laurence...

There is also a small group on FaceBook if you search for 'Rally Plates', I have a feeling it was setup by Laurence too.

[northern monkey]

Thanks AndyB72,I will do that.

Iv'e had a few issues Stuart,the hand full of pills Iv'e been having to take to stop my back grieving me have left me with a slight tremor in my hands ,which is no good for free hand painting...and not having had the correct info on details like the service barge plates...its stopped some things.I have completed the plinth which is a composite of the national trees from the driver's-co driver's and service crews country's...Oak,Silver Birch,Irish oak which has now been hand polished,the 3 d printed !:43 scale quick lift jack has yet to be sorted though...and then there's the small matter of covering most of the detail work with the thin layer of snow...
