Default Colin Mcrae tribute poster

Following the tragic death of Colin Mcrae this year, I am thinking about creating a poster as a tribute in celebration his life which I am intending to produce for next years Prodrive Open day in order to raise money for the Oxford Childrens Hospital charity appeal. Its a big job, but I feel its our way of remembering the best rally driver of them all and help to assist in a very much deserved charity appeal fund!!!

I was wondering if anyone knows when the owners (I presume Prodrive) will wheel out his legacy britsh rally car in rothmans livery (which i missed taking pics of at rally day as I ran out of memory on my cards) to a exhibition somewhere in the Uk again this year, maybe at MPH??

If anyone knows of anyone who has a 93 legacy road car to take some reference pics of it?

If anyone has gold Speedline Corsa 7 or 8 spoke alloy wheels as were used on colins car?

Got any pics of this car (trolled the web but nothing doing)

Also his signature done in a thick black marker on white paper.

I managed to get mega pics of his championship winning car of 1995 so that will be going up on the poster along with his 1997 2 door car and gold X games car before he past away. Below is a rough initial dummy of the intended poster.

Hope someone can help

I took these photos of his Legacy at rallyday.











If you still want to find a Legacy road car try posting on UK Legacy Forums (Powered by Invision Power Board) and there is a user on there that has a genuine set of Group A tarmac wheels.

No they don't own it. The car in their heritage centre belongs to Frederic Dor



I think that it might be autosportif in Banbury that either own it or look after it because it looked like one of their guys driving it on track at Castle combe.

I was sorting through some photos a couple of weeks ago, and found photos of Colin in just about every car he ever rallied.
Nova (1988)
Sierra (1990)
Legacy (1992)
Impreza (1995)
Focus (2001)
Citroen (2003)
Skoda (2005)
Escort Mk11 (2005)
6R4 (2006)

From about 2001, the photos are digital, earlier ones I would need to scan.
But if your interested in any, send me a PM.
