Interesting. You're right...'Princess Blue' wouldn't work! LOL! I've got...
...the FM / 1:24 / '66 Cobra roadster / Guardsman Blue...it's STUNNING. And I've got a 1:18 / '#26' Daytona coupe / Bob Bonderant (sp). 'Love' them 'both'.
I'm a Chevy guy. But, Shelby will always be one of my 'car guy' heroes primarily because he kicked Ferrari's butt...BEFORE the GT40 did it.

Gurney wrote about the win on the bonnet. Very kind of them both, I can't remember which year at Goodwood it was, but like all Goodwood meets, the history comes alive.
