The picture does not show it in a good light. Its going look amazing once cleaned up on a white wall of a huge Victorian pile. Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who has a few Ferrari's would have it on his garage wall !
Michelin is a desirable brand around the world. I have an Arabic Michelin.
Even the USA Space Shuttle used Michelin tyres, I heard that from a Michelin director in Saudi. |
