I saw that on your build topic for it, but the magazine ad pic that I posted above was from the actual CanAm 914 pace car on the track at one of the events (Watkins Glen IIRC - same one as toolguy/Dave posted at your other topic on the tribute car) & it looks black.
However, there could've been more than one used with a tan interior for CanAm, & I'm not sure offhand right now what the F1 version was paint or interior colors.
The pic you posted above is the guy who did his own tribute up in Ontario Canada, & IIRC it's tan inside. Is that yours with Ontario plates?
... if not, then maybe some of our Canuck members have seen it & can help you there.
I saw your topic here:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=273531In the end, you do what color & all that suits you, since your tribute is for you to enjoy!
Your East Bay Area sometimes gets hot in summer, & the tan/beige is much cooler on your butt & back .... from my first hand experience here in SoCal!
Plus, IIRC we'd chatted on here before that you're from the UK - Welsh or Brit - given the Wyvern, I think I asked if you were a Rugby fan, my being a 26 year ex-player myself.
My point being, that you're more used to cooler climates where black is preferable .... whereas lighter colors here in CA are nice & cooler, but black is also harder to keep perfectly clean & lint-free if you concours or show it competitively, since black shows every speck!
Since it's almost done, which engine did you end up with?
IIRC on your other thread that you were considering a bored/stroked upbuild at 2L+.
Cheers!
Tom
