No not the stupid film about a racing zebra... Reading an article, in this months Classic Cars, about racing Cobras it started me thinking about different styles of stripes on racing cars.... Here's a selection of striped Cobras, The classic 2 broad stripes; same but Daytona coupe.. Daytona 1965, Cobras finish 1-2-3 39PH, single broad stripe and 2 narrow stripes and on Willment Coupe or transverse stripe or no stripes

Or some herbie stripes, always fancied a similarly styled bug when I was a kid, I'm now 34 and have never even sat in a bug.

How about big fat 'blackout' stripes with a thin pinstripe around the edge? They were all the go on Australian touring cars and muscle cars of the early 1970s. Holden Ford
