One of my favourite bits of Retro Cars mag is the "ten of the best" thing, although Ii always vehemently disagree with at least one selection ;D So I thought I'd do one of my own. Ten of the best retro-car stripes... I've restricted it to ones from the factory, rather than race paint schemes or whatever... 1) The Allegro Equipe:

I reckon it's time for TIGER STRIPES to make a triumphant return to the modding scene.
Imagine the impression you would make as you cruised down the High Street in your "RETRO" Mk3 Escort!!!
For full "Old Skool" stylee the tiger stripes must of course be BLACK, GREY and SILVER (on a red car). Loud music from "BACK IN THE DAY" must be played at all times, preferably something like "Felix" - Don'tchawantmaluuurvin!
To complete the look at all times be wearing an "Adihash" t-shirt and an "Eclipse" bomber jacket - just to let everyone know you're not "lightweight". Top off with mirror tinted windows and 13inch alloys. That's the style.
Like stepping back into the hazy summer of 1995!
*Please note: I AM TAKING THE curse word!
**Please also note that despite extensive googling I cannot find any images of a barry'd up XR3 with tiger stripes. It's like the whole "look" has been (quite justifiably) erased from history. Spooky!

I remember a rather nice looking mkII RS2000 in CCC a while ago - one of the clinic cars.
Was black with white, silver and gold tiger stripes...

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

I collected all the matchbox cars from Frosties back in the day! They all had Tony the Tiger stripes on them! My favorite was the Jag XJS: Silver with Tony the tiger stripes on the roof! I will have to dig out my old toy cars and post some piccies!
