Each colour comes from a specific example of a particular model, whether it be a famous bespoke scheme (such as the 375 MM tribute named ‘The Ingrid’ and ‘The McQueen’, which takes inspiration from the King of Cool’s brown 250 SWB) or a memorable racing livery (see ‘The Lauda’, inspired by Niki’s 312T, or ‘The Stirling’, which celebrates Moss’s Goodwood-winning 250 SWB). For the more recent automotive muses, even memorable launch colours have been put on a pedestal.
Among our favourites of all are the 500 Mondial-inspired ‘The Heartthrob’, the two-tone tributes to the 166 MM and 340 America Speciale commissioned by Gianni Agnelli – respectively called ‘The Agnelli’ and ‘The Patriarch’ – and ‘The Fangio’, whose red paintwork with blue-and-yellow noseband works particularly well on all models. We’ll leave it to you to decide whether the asymmetrical seat colours, as per the David Piper Racing tribute named ‘The Green Jewel’, are quite as successful inside a modern production car as they might have been in a golden-era racing car.
