No, my MC21 was painted less than a week before I collected it in early '95. It was in primer, ready to be painted in Ralph Waldmaan's HB colours when MCN came out with a photo of Mick Doohan's first Repsol paintwork. I was on the phone to [then] Sumo Motorcycles at 8am, MCN in hand! No word of a lie, the guy picked the phone up and said "that'll be Mr. Grant then!"



The paintwork is obviously quite "wrong", but there was only one quite poor newspaper photo to go by at the time. I quite honestly believe it was the first Repsol replica ever done.
