Ah the Guv'Nor looks so handsome :)
My oldest steed is a 2003-2004 Thorn XTC, 725 or 853 so should last for a long time. Did need some touch-ups. It's too bad a repaint with decals is so expensive, and the enamel cobalt blue paint is just too nice IMHO to strip for a cheap powdercoat.
Luckily Humbrol does some enamels in cobalt so I was out with the paintbrush and rustkiller a few weeks ago ;)
