Favourite Liveries

Mr V · 17 Sep 2003, 15:19 (Ref:721958)

Came across this in this months F1 Magazine, one of my favourite all time liveries. The 1993 Ligier, this livery was used at Suzuka and Adelaide.

Here is Martin Brundle at Adelaide.

Always liked this one:

1983 Renault.

Knowlesy · 17 Sep 2003, 16:21 (Ref:722034)

1982 Renault isn't it?

blackx · 17 Sep 2003, 16:35 (Ref:722051)

I personally liked the Jordan's when they were using
"Bitten and Hisses" in non tobacco advertising countries....
With a snakes head across the nose of the car........
Wanted to get hold of a t-shirt or pit shirt with that design on but never got the chance

Knowlesy · 17 Sep 2003, 16:37 (Ref:722054)

I loved the 1997 and 1998 Arrows liveries. But 2002's was gorgeouso-mondo! Pity it raced roughly twice......

ASCII Man · 17 Sep 2003, 17:06 (Ref:722083)

This is one of my favourites, the 1985 Arrows

And the other, the 1997 Arrows

Knowlesy · 17 Sep 2003, 17:15 (Ref:722090)

I love that car.....

Muzza · 17 Sep 2003, 17:58 (Ref:722132)

Liveries that I like:

- Jordan 1991, with Fuji and SevenUp, maybe my favorite
- Lotus John Player Special (any of them...)
- any Fittipaldi with Copersucar sponsorship (the styled hummingbird and the colourful stripes on yellow background were very attractive). In constrast, any Fittipaldi without teh Copersucar colours is awful!
- Minardi 1995 (seriously)
- RAM 1984 (Skoal Bandit)
- Arrows Ragno+Beta, 1981
- Arrows Warsteiner, 1978
- Arrows "chequered" 1993
- Benetton-Benetton (green), particularly the 1987 one.

I've got the actual 1/43 model if you want a pic of that (sad I kno I got both) The real cars are in the Mondello Museum. I'd run out of film when I went in the Museum so was gutted. Anyone got any pics of the car there just because it is where I actually sae them!

**Bononi** · 17 Sep 2003, 18:15 (Ref:722159)

Brabham liveries were great !

**Adam43** · 17 Sep 2003, 18:19 (Ref:722164)

I like the proper old national colours. The scarlet red of Ferrari, the dark BRG of BRM etc...

But there have been some great one since.

I like the Marly McLarens, especially the ones where the car was uncluttered - around 84 to 88 and also 93. I also like the Brabhams that Bononi mentioned, better than the current Williams (but it is nice they are similar). Also, of course, andy JPS Lotus! The standard ones there!

Down F0rce · 17 Sep 2003, 18:29 (Ref:722178)

West McLaren and Rothmans Williams are my faves

**FIRE** · 17 Sep 2003, 18:35 (Ref:722182)

I like the Footwork Arrows ('93), red blue Arrows ('96) and the Simtek ('95).

The darker coloured Ferrari of the past (pre-Schumacher) I like more then the current Ferrari.

But off course there are more nice liveries.

Damon · 17 Sep 2003, 18:45 (Ref:722196)

And then, perhaps best of all...

Muzza · 17 Sep 2003, 18:59 (Ref:722211)

Woa, so many people like the 1991 Jordan!

Adam, you mentioned cars liveried in national (racing) colours. What about listing them?

- Great Britain is of course "British" green (I love it);
- Brazil is yellow with a green stripe (or more than one stripe);
- Italy of course is red, France is pale blue, Germany is silver, Japan is white with a red "sun" and...

...what about other countries? I am curious to learn about Portugal and Argentina, for example.

A quick search revealed this: http://www.miata.net/misc/racecolor.html

although I'm not sure 100% with his list at the end. Scotland, while being part of GB, stuck to Blue. Well Ecurie Ecosse did anyway. I don't remember any blue Scottish F1 cars though?

ASCII Man · 17 Sep 2003, 19:06 (Ref:722221)

Argentina
Body: blue
Hood: yellow
Chassis: black
Numbers: red on white

Portugal
Body and hood: red
Underframe: white
Numbers: white

Belgium:
Body: Yellow
Numbers: Black

Holland
Body: Orange
Numbers: white

USA
Body and hood: white
Underframe: blue
Numbers: blue on white

And so on...

Looks like i have the same list as Adam...

avsfan733 · 17 Sep 2003, 19:29 (Ref:722245)

I personally like
the Arrows of last year
the marlboro Mclaren
the original dual design that BAR showed

jetsetter · 17 Sep 2003, 19:54 (Ref:722278)

The 7-UP Jordan is easily my favourite as well.

ElScOrChO · 17 Sep 2003, 20:36 (Ref:722339)

The good old black lotuses!

pb btcc · 17 Sep 2003, 21:09 (Ref:722381)

I liked the 91-93 williams Liverie.

also the 94 Simtek was a good looking car.

bigted · 17 Sep 2003, 21:21 (Ref:722395)

My all time favourite has to be the Jordan from 1991, i think it was helped by the good solid clean lines of the chassis.
