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

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.
