The study

Reading the geometry

This is the most reductive scheme in the archive: one saturated blue, one white wave crossing the flank, and a darker blue band closing the sill. It survives because the wave is drawn properly — it rises over the front arch, dips through the door and lifts again at the rear, so the car appears to have a waterline.

A second, much finer white line runs above the main wave in phase with it. That is the detail that makes it look engineered rather than sprayed: the two curves never cross and never converge, they simply travel together.

The lineage runs from the Group A Skylines of the early nineties through the JGTC years, and the same two colours carried across the Silvia programmes of the same period.

Reproduced here as colour and stripe geometry only. The component maker's marks are not drawn.
