Default Jewel violet Escos pictures please!

If it all goes to plan I should finally be in a position to buy a decent Escos in a month or so, only problem is which colour to go for . My gut feeling is Impy blue, but as the Focus is that, thought I might go for something different, which leads me asking the above question!

Also, can someone give me some background info on why they're so rare?

jewel violet looks pretty good in pictures,,,,, but in real life it is so much better

its rare & in demand because there wasn't many made in that colour, about 9 or 10 'Monte's' & a not a lot of normal escorts!!!

think there were 26 montes in j/violet [rhd] according to m/cat,and doo did some checking on this as well and it seems spot on,and the odd 1 or 2 normal ones,so they are pretty scarce compared to the normal colours

I spose I like it 'cos it's different; always reminds me of red fruit pastiles for some reason.

That looks very nice, though I don't like the wheels (risk getting abuse for admitting this)

I'd suggest buying on condition rather than colour. I only wanted Flat black, Aubergine or Polaris, no other colour would do, no way, never.


I bought a white one..

Lol, I know what you're saying, but my mind's made up on a Jewel violet one now, so will have to wait it out; I'll keep an eye on Junkyard 28.

To those who like the wheels (presuming I buy a standard one that is) I'll be moving them straight on, for something a little less hub-cappy

Looking to spend 16K at the most, although my brother's mate reckons I won't get one for that. I'm sure I've seen one on J28's website for 15K though.
