Looks like AndyP has gone out and bought an Elise : welcome to the collective Chief.

Matt a rare combo

Ok I'll say it :

it's not a type 49 though

It's like having a type 72 in green !!

Geoff C had a good look on the ice cream run and says it has all the proper 49 seats and trim bits just like his own. I think it looks well personally but would probably go for red and white if given the choice.

Seems it was a one off prototype to see how it would look, obviously decided to stay with the GLTL colour scheme for the \"F1 Heritage\" marketing strategy.
Spotted several dou-tone Sport 190's at the factory in 2000, they were destined for track use in America.
Looked good in yellow/white and pistachio/white, as per the original Elan sprints.
