When the 95 cars were livered,it took three days to apply the decals to both the Cleland and Alum cars.I always thought the Cleland Grey and Blue looked far better than Alums Grey and Orange,but Nigels,being a privateer looked the best.

I'd much rather see it in one of its' original liveries- either Ecurie Ecosse blue or Nigel Smith's HMSO colours- much nicer than the '95 Vauxhall white colourscheme- apart from anything else, there are already a couple around like that- I think both of Mike Newton's cars (one of them is the ex-Cleland championship winning car AFAIK) are in '95 Vauxhall colours

Does this model run a sequential shift or H-pattern?

Mike Newton has the 2 1994 and 2 1995 cars. The 1994 car was raced in 1995 colours a couple of years back.

The grey/blue was '94 and then in '95 it was a bit like the Opel colours, white with yellow flashes on the sides......

I'd rather have them in the hands of a serious enthusiast than being parked in a barn somewhere getting dusty.  He's owned both 1995 cars since 2000, complete with a big RML spares package.

Apparently #017 (Jeff Allam 1994 car- Mike brought it back from Australia after racing it at Bathurst) #018 (1994 Cleland 'GM Card' car), #022 (1995 Cleland championship winner) #023 (1995 James Thompson- the car Cleland shunted at Goodwood this year)- both '95 chassis were brought back from Australia.
http://www.supertouringregister.com/...r/model/14.php
As Craner said, it's better to see them in the hands of a serious enthusiast who'll both maintain and use them than have them stuck in a workshop gathering dust, or worse, broken up for parts...I reckon in a few years time, there could be a lot of interest in 'Historic Supertouring' cars- it'll be interesting to see the response to the Silverstone race next year- my first thought was that it's a bit early for this yet, but....
I suspect he must have a fair collection- going off-topic, presumably he's still got all of the MG-Lolas chassis he's used in the LMS, and if I recall rightly, he originally owned more than one of the various Saleens campaigned by Graham Nash Motorsport and RML in British & FIA GT a few years back....
