It would look better with either the frame and black roof or a complete cladded cab but he's done it in the 'Continental European export' style of which was normal for France as well. I have a pair of his 770's he did a few years ago, the red and the white Selectamatic models but I'm going to have to think long and hard as to wheather this one will be added to my D.B. collection or no.

Looks like the unpainted master Joe. Front axle is wrong, it's from the 770/780 in real life, the correct axle should be what was called the 'fabricated' type, same  that was fitted to the 880 on. He's basically just modified his previous 770 models. 885 also were factory fitted with 32 inch rear wheels, 28's were optional on request from the customer.

I thought the axle looked like the old type one
