Being the flagship ford at the time.. top of the range and all that.. once homologation had run its course.. they started to sell the 'inferior' escort cossies decked with leather etc.. they must have thought it was a neccesity imo...

neither of us YET

ok thanks re aircon

Surely Ford made a few special order ones which probably have all kinds of spec sure I read about a normal lux in jewel violet that was classed as an SV

Also anyone remember the rhd yellow one with the wings seats at National Day (either last year or the year before) there was also another yellow LHD one at national 05.

According to Ford the yellow car left the factory as Radiant Red. But i have seen a few LHDs in Zinc Yellow. When i looked them up i couldnt find any data regarding what colour it was painted in from Ford. But zinc yellow was an option on the convertible and they were built at the same plant (Karmann) so they could be special orders.
