Big call Torry Nut but I'm suggesting that Linamint is the best of the LC XU-1 colours. Saw a top GTR made up as an XU-1 at the Summernats. Made my day!
Anyway, I'll validate 82911CL162434 cos it's in my garage.

Now...where is my inspiration? Ratcatcher?

Edit: and anyone who is not a knob (or friends with LC/LJ 2-door molesterers) can come and have a look at it for themselves.

Good idea would love to see how many Sunburst metalics are out there.

What about factory coloured Lina-mint 'S' models?

Or are we discriminated against because we're not GTR's or XU1's??? :tease:

Once the database is ready we may be able to accept ALL cars, but we'll see what happens.

Are you going to run the numbers entered , past Bazza first , that's if it's alright with bazza , to eliminate the ones that have a mixture of tags ,to give a more accurate list.

LOL! Great stuff!

Linamints of any body/engine configuration are welcome I suppose, as long as someone else is recording the numbers...which it appears they are :blink2: . It's a good thing.

TBM, you crack me up. Never saw under the bonnet of that either, except in the mag!!

After I've clocked more posts in this thread than Torry Nut has, I'm going to start a register to honour the colour of my 4 cyl LC... that's right, olive, with a white top. Bet that pulls some numbers!!
