While driving down to Wales last Thursday, I spotted a seven-style car - probably a Westfield - in Bicester. It looked nicely built, but the paint job was something else! Imagine painting 4"/100mm squares on the diagonal across the whole car, each in a different colour - sort of a harlequin effect. I couldn't get a photo as I was driving at the time.

The overall effect was like that 'dazzle' camouflage paint they used on warships in WW2. It was very hard to register the shape as a car when glancing around the traffic!

Might be a bit counter-productive in a car that's easily squashed...

David, in my photo archive, there is a section called Brize, look for Brize J. Is that it? The location you give sounds as though it could be! No, nowt to do with me, but it was at the Brize Norton show last year!

I don't think that is the same car (e.g. no spoiler, and I don't remember seeing red edges to the wings) but the same sort of paint job.

Very hard to register its shape in busy traffic!

I quite like it !

Don't get me wrong - the colours & pattern are amazing - it's just that it's very effective camouflage and could get the car squished!

David

surely there can't be more than one car with a hideous paint job like that out there?

Ned.

Are you sure that isn't just grannies quilt lying over a westfield to keep it warm?

At the moment, I've got a yellow body tub, blue bonnet and red nose cone, oh and the pink chassis. I don't think that the Harlequin paint job would make it any worse !
