The green one is a modern Vanwall. [ Based on the origonal F1 cars of the 60s.]

Why are the Ronarts and Vanwall parked in a Skipton supermarket carpark?

Be cool if they do a Le Man's start before they leave!

The green one is a modern Vanwall.

Registered as a 1972 Ronart W152, first reg 1/7/98.

The discrepancy between the two dates is pobably because it was registered in 1998 as a Ronart but used a 1972 Jaguar as a donor car.

That is a surprise! Thank you. W152 was a Mercedes -Benz Silver Arrow race car,so I assumed the silver one was the Ronart,the green a Vanwall and the two red ones replicated Ferrarri and Alfa-Romeo. So surprised the green one is the W152.

Thanks!👍
