there are a couple of people on here with red ones. i think they look the tits.

You'll get LOADS of answers to your Q from people who think they know

they were made in both 2wd and 4x4 but more in 4x4. I think the total figure was more like 15-20 and nowhere near 100.

you can see my mates one in this pic behind mine

pic taken in 02/03 but he still has it

Radient red info is as follwows: 7 2wd were made for special order, then in 1993 a production of 20 were planned all sold through 2 dealers, however only 14 were ever produced. All 14 4wd come as last production model so have full colour rear spoiler, leather, air con etc. Most are L plates too, but a few are late K plates. My dad bought one from new, registered 2/2/1994, I bought it of him in 2002, then sold it with 30k on clock last year for 9k, to a bloke living in guernsey, who bought it off here. I have spent probably days and days searching for all this detail, so its probably as close as info you will get, but please understand its only what I have found due to my passion of the rarest colour saf, radient red................. Thats off course if your not including the one factory colour mallard green produced.

LAMBCHOP what are you doing to your car now. I havent really done much to mine apart from servicing every year. Rewired the fuel pump new timing belt n tensioner. I bought a group A coil pack from national day last year for a bargain price of 15quid.
