There was 1 Grey Series 1 that Ford did, it was returned to them by the customer for a repsray as he didn't want it in white!

Never any Silver Series 2's AFAIK. Definately NO Moonstone Series 2's though!

Err, not sure where I heard this but I heard that there was a Black S1 that was Princess Di's car and a Grey S1 that was sent back to the factory by a customer that didnt want it in white.

Ah, just remembered where I heard it... was in this thread, heard it so much its burnt into my fackin memory for life now.


Cheers,
Grant
