I believe that the yellow/green paint scheme was the Lotus factory I dunno ... the Triumph TRS LeMans cars (mid-60s) are painted in this scheme, too.

Call your trash disposal service and ask them how to get rid of toxics. Chances are they have a dump that handles it, either on a regular or once-per-month basis.
