LeviA not been funny mate but has the car had a full Shoot? just asking as my old J plate Saph was Ebony Black, after i sold it the new owner had a full shoot done on it and had it done in Gloss Black. To be honest i'm not keen on gloss black and thinked it looked much better Ebony but everyone to there own i suppose. That just might explane the car being Ebony on paper but actually Gloss Black paint. As for it being rare i think it might be a 2wd in Ebony that will be rare, as i think all the early Black Saphs were Gloss Black. Hope this helps and i'm sure i will be corrected if im wrong
