The ebony black "Spender" 4x4 is in Norfolk...
...just had the owner phone up, and it has still only done 68k and is completely standard. I think I've talked him into stage 1 and exhaust

I think in the first series it was a flint grey 2wd?
In the last series it became an Ebony Black 4x4.....
They apparantly had to replace the whole bonnet, even though it was a lightened "fake" case
.
I won't have pics until he brings it to our local meet

He also had a silver one as well - but in the last series it was a black 1990 4x4 (red-top).

Funny, as Corgi did a model of one the "Spender" cars, and they were all silver and in the pictures on the RSOC thread, it "looks" like the H-reg one is definitely "Ebony Black"

Spender had 3 cars.....
the 2wd saff was indeed flint
There were two 4x4's in black
There were no silver or magenta cars i'm afraid tho and it was a merc he had in the xmas special....
The thread on RSOC was started by myself
The reggies
Series 1 2wd Sapphire G325 WVW
Series 2 4x4 Sapphire H674 LAR
Series 3 4x4 Sapphire K95 BRX
For those who are interested i still have sets of the DVD's available. For prices please send a PM.
The set includes
Series 1 (8 episodes)
Series 2 (6 episodes)
Series 3 (6 episodes)
The special Xmas edition called 'the french collection'
These come in proper cases with quality covers
