Looks like Blueprint to me, but I could be wrong.

yeah blueprint, but in that light it looks almost pale enough to be mistaken for Velocity

Yeah that's what i thought at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, and picturing it without the stripes, and realising it's out in the sun, i THINK it's blueprint.

Once again i think it's the stripes making it look lighter. The Rapid of the BAII next to it is extremely bright too, i think it's the sun/camera making it look brighter than it is.

But now, with all this indecision, I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND.

If the car is a Mk1 it is blueprint, if Mk2 it is velocity, look at the badge on the back (in real life not in the photo)

Its Blueprint, and they are Mk 1 18" wheels. Blueprint was dropped for Shockwave during MkI production.
Paint codes are ; Blueprint UU
; Shockwave W5
