Guardsman Blue (German Sikkens paint)


Photo above is hotlinked (same image MUCH larger size).

ERA's reputation for the firm's robustly-engineered, rigid chassis and outstanding coachwork quality is fully evidenced in this Guardsman Blue beauty. ERA 760 delivers the best of both worlds: knock-'em-dead, period-correct persona—and breathtaking, neck-snapping performance.

Here's a roster of what lurks under this serpent's skin:
