Default Jewel Violet Esc Cos

A mate of mine over here has just managed to bag hmiself a Jewel Violet Esc Cos Monte (I think its Alanas old one) and it just got me wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of the other 8? I know the other one to make it 10 was dead and buried a while ago...

Also why did Ford only make 10 RHD of this colour? Was it purely down to demand?

Any info would be great, I personally love the colour

Aubergine is the colour of Lee Cairnes (Fusions) old ERST (G19 RST) and is a totally different colour, looks almost black till the sun hits it then you get a hint of purple...



Agreed theres not many of them around either but its fact that theres only 9 of the Jewel Violet Esc Cos in RHD...

Hi ya,

Sold the cossie back in July/August time.

Miss Monte very much

Sold it to a guy down in Portsmouth he was from on here infact.

Not many around now, a friend of mine has got one a jewel violet one like mine but without leather.

The "Monte" was available in only 3 colours - Ash Black, Mallard Green and "Jewel Violet" but i haven't seen many of the Ash Black ones, has anyone else ?
