Hello All,

Been offered a moonstone blue Series 2 on H reg I'm wondering did they actually make a series 2 in moonstone blue? Its original the guy claims. First time I've came across it?

Cheers

Ah I know that plate! I'm sure it was an ex show car, it used to be mint, but I'm sure it had been painted. I'd love to see that car now.

Hi guys.
Does anyone know the paint codes for each colour? Mine also is a different one. Special order from new by Sue Collins of Collins Motorsport back in 1988. I will check the codes straight away

Simple answer is no they didnt.

Colours are

Rosso Red 86/87 models only (Raven Trim)
Radiant Red 87 on> (Zolda Trim)
Nimbus Grey 86/87 models only (Raven Trim)
Mercury Grey 87 on> (Zolda Trim)
Diamond White (early Raven Trim later Zolda Trim)
Black (early Raven Trim later Zolda Trim)

No other cars left the factory in any other colour.
