Looking for reference pictures

I hope somebody could help me here - looking for more pictures of 250 TdF Open Headlight that run at LeMans in 1959 under #11 Equipe Nationale Belge. Don't know much more about the car, but need pictures of the livery to make a model of it - here is the only picture I have:

Please help if you have anything on it. S/N. driver, etc but mostly looking for pictures. Thanks!

Alex, YOU need reference photos!?!??! (faints)

Never mind that TdF, get back to the 166MM so I know what to do next!

Re: Looking for reference pictures

Did you just pick up the MG kit of that car on Ebay?

If so, well sniped! I put my bid in just a few seconds too early.

Now that you mention it, what are the 3 of you doing with that 36 cylinders group build?! It's been a year that nothing happened there.

Nope, I just sold an MG kit of this car like a month ago.... I'm hoping for a MFH kit of this car, one day? This is actually for a 1:43 scale build I'm doing for a customer. I'll post some pix when done.

Who said? Who of you two like violet flavour? Other choice is milk cream, coming soon

Oooo! It's got it's own little display stand!

Looks MUCH better than MFH effort
