Seeing that Ferrari with it's turbo intakes on the sidepods makes me think even more how plain the DeAgostini MP4/4 looks without them!
Sorry, had a moment!

You're on the right lines with that but you're not exactly right I'm afraid. If you were it would probably give you the answer to #4!!

Interesting....!
"The car was sent to a garage for tuning and was painted light blue after a dress of a young girl Birabongse had met. "
and...
"In 1939 a wide yellow line appeared on the cars and the wheels were also painted yellow..."

Problem with old history like this question - everything you read seems to be different depending on what site you read it on!!!!
That's what I'm finding anyway - and learning stuff as I 'research' answers to Kev's cryptic questions!

Well done Dave, it was indeed painted 'Hyacinth blue or Bira Blue' after Prince Bira saw a young lady wearing a dress of that colour and as you say the Yellow was added later to the sides and wheels of his cars, which was indeed the answer to #4 that I was looking for and I'm glad you learnt a lot in your research Dave!!  
I hope that made you all scratch the bonce a little?? HaHa!! 
Karl, I can see where you are getting confused my friend!! I think this is right - I answered TH's photo question correctly, so set my question. Dave half answered it initally, then later filled in the blanks after my 'cryptic' clue and TH was just expanding on Daves' answers!! Phew!!
By the way Dave, what part of Southampton do you come from?? I live in East Sussex now but I'm Hampshire born and bred and Southampton is my 'Home' town!! I do miss it sometimes!! 
Your go Dave??

Crikey! That was taxing!!!!
Im going to be away for the weekend so, if poss, I would like to pass my go. Karl would you like to set a question? If not maybe Kev can boggle us all again!!!
Kev, I live in Middenbury/Bitterne but I lived in Ringwood for 12 years and originally from Cheltenham, where I lived for 16 years.

Thanks for that Dave glad you enjoyed it!!
I will PM Karl to see if he wants to take your go, if not then I will let TH have the next go since he joined in with your answers, so he was partly correct and I am a bit busy over the weekend myself!! HaHa!!
Ah, Bitterne!! Not that far from the River Hamble then and in the other direction, the Solent Sky Aviation Museum, or the 'RJ Mitchell Museum' as they used to call it - which I preferred!! I was born in Hythe across the water, but lived a lot of years in the Millbrook/Shirley area and also in Totton, near Southampton. Good old days and most of my family are still there!!!
Have a good weekend.
Kev
