My brother just took up painting and did this for a gift for me. Its based on the old sales brochure, but he'd no blue oils left, so he just did green. Which happens to be the colour of my 1.8

I feel guilty enough to look at start restoring the car now

Looks better as you get further back.

That's really nice. I'd be keen to buy one if he'd paint another... orange mk1 saloon...

I dunno if he'd do it again though.
I'll ask him.

He'll do you one if you like.
But bear in mind that for something 60cm X 50cm, the materials alone are 50 or 60 quid. It takes between 12 and 15 hours. I'd say it'd be around 100 quid.

Perhaps a lot for a whim, but not much for something one-off and commissioned, depending on which way you look at it

Better pics of it:

He's got a facebook page for the other stuff he's done - moviestars and VW vans - stuff like that.
