In the end I chose the P142 , but I can safely give it to you (if you want it) .
PS: If you choose one of the models I'd like to make the wookey's livery

As Philippe declined the proposal, I would gladly accept your offer to prepare a Cosworth 4WD. I'm typically the kind of character to put publicity higher then performance and driving the first 4WD F1 since the Ferguson would please my sponsors. Beside it is a unique occasion to get a Cosworth engine. In the worst of cases, I can strip it off, and finish the season with another chassis.

I already downloaded your wonderful model, but if you want to tune the livery for me, it would be very kind. No problem whatsoever. I'm sure it would be far better then what I can do.
Here is my livery this year Feel totally free from it apart the blonde moustache and the yellow/black scottish McLeod chequered pattern which are important to me.

Eric,
If Luigi is too busy to do it, working on his own car for 69, I can do your livery, just as I did the Brabham

Once again you trust me too much. I was about to race Monza, when I checked my calendar. There is Oulton first. Still time for italian entries, but who the heck will be competing at Gold Cup?

The race is not into the Mod, so I have quite some work ahead... just a little less if I dont bother with race numbers....

Dear friends,
make a new car has always been a charming challenge for me   ...
I know I can deal it but for now I'd rather of no .
So the compromise would be:
- 1969 Scuderia Centro Sud (model Ferrari Sigma) drivers Mennella & Whebè;
- 1969 Equipe de Bretagne (Cosworth 4WD model) driver Conrad McLeod;
- 1969 PZ Team (BRM P142 model) driver Razor Ramon
Provided that Philippe accepts this proposal...

Done, without too much focus on accurate race numbers, but not too bad 24 drivers :

What a great plan !!!! Of course, this would be a very nice option ! I vote for this ! But Luigi, this means you should do a 4th car : The Sigma that complies with post Monaco 69 rules

Thank you so much ! This is really a very nice plan. my cars will be nicknamed "golden wings", and officially named PZ Mk4. The blue cross is not mandatory, any blue design on Gold body was allowed to mark Mexican citizenship. Blue lighting bolts would be terrific on this shape !

The extra cost to become a constructor would be covered by a sponsorship from Domecq

Thank you very much for your acceptation Luigi. This story can go to very interesting details thanks to your help.
I know I will not win races unless it rains with that car, nevertheless, welcome to the "McLeod-Cosworth 4RM" (means 4 roues motrices) nicknamed "le tracteur".
If Philippe agrees, the car will start the season at Zandvoort only. Early season testing by Stewart calling it a nasty piece of rubbish (authentical) will lead Robin Herd to search for another partner. At this time my own discussion to get a better Brabham will stop and I will jump on the occasion to get the Cosworth project. So I'll already be a Cosworth client for 1970

I love your imagination my friends ! I take good note ! This will be reflected in the story

Meanwhile my friend Vincent Herelle worked on Pedro de la Bassetta story for 1969 and beyond.
In 1969, he will race an Indycar Eagle Chassis with Ford Cosworth engine. The car will still be sponsored by Loteria Nacional and Calvo Sotelo. Can you do it also Luigi? I think you had done a 1968 Eagle for your Indy Legend project, or I remember wrong?


1968 Eagle Olsonite

This, with 1969 style moustache and rear wings would be great for him

The McLeod-Cosworth 4RM could be something like ...

but if I can not use the Sigma (post Monaco 69) , how Wookey says, Garcia will remain without the "golden wings"

as I understand, it is just to replace the engine, add front and rear wings and some sponsor, right?
if it is so certain that I can do it...
