Well his boot is well out of alignment ..... and the wheels dont look like they fit.

I'd say Sebring silver looking at the colour chart - maybe the roof is from an import, maybe it has been badly resprayed ... or maybe it just needs a bloody good clean?

Has either the HT or car been re-sprayed?

How does it match your silverstone?

Can you get a picture in natural light, rather than under flourescents?

It looks odd, may have had a respray earlier in its life and the painter used the wrong paint code.?
