Rare Spares have recently produced an excellent repro.  There are pics of it in the "Reproduction Parts" board.

Thank's for the help guys I will rectify that soon it's a pity though the white looks good against the maroon.
I would still like to know if the white over maroon sedan is still out there somewhere [reverse Clarabell] similar to Dags car but the roof is maroon.Cheers Tommo

Graham FULLER was also selling excellent inserts that go over the old ones.  I have one and cannot fault it.
