80s Hooper Corniche from Qatar in Paris in the 80s
In subtle white. Make that Colombian marching powder white. Wait a tick, check the number plate, Arabian robe white.
With a dabble of appropriate gold trim of course. Gotta love the 80s.

Have a look here, a period 1980s photo of a Hooper & Co modified Rolls-Royce Corniche with Qatar plates parked out the front of a hotel in Paris.
Make that the Hôtel InterContinental - rue de Castiglione - Paris for specifics.

Extra lights, extra action, colour coding, gold bits and pieces, this car is winning.
The Hotel is now The Westin, with some standard S classes out the front. Disappointing.

It looks like it was more interesting in the 80s.
Thanks Andy for finding the photo.
