No duck, you could get a 1.4 escort mk4 cab, i used to see a few ghias and they were weird cos some of them had wheel trims, not sporty ones like the 3i.

Close Ginge. Very close. That car is actually Paris Blue. Only made in that colour on the MK4 for 6 months (1986) and only available on the Ghia model. I know, it is mine You are right about the rarity, when I was in the Escort Cabriolet Club I was the only person with one in that colour and the spec. It only had electric windows when I got it

Remember my auntie having one of the pink ones when they were new! I always wanted her to get a turbo but she only had eyes for the cabs.

I could have sworn the half leather was black though, but I guess it was a few years ago.

Hi Bud
Happy NEw Year to ya
Will give ya a ring later when I get home

SO !

We have settled on the amalfi blue ones being from a G plate and being "Special Editions" NOT "Limited Editions", so theoretically they as common as, the amount of people that speced (chose) the colour ! Interiors not really a problem to us

SO !

What about the "Pink" ones" lol

My white cabrio is being used as an every day car at the mo im loving it tho! Although you should see the state of my engine bay never seen it so dirty it don't look like my car after a few to many blasts down to dover an back in the shitty weather lol

Think i have used it more this winter than i did the whole of the summer! Someone has brought another Cabrio that is stripped on the drive so i can't get it back in the garage

that was what i was getting on about,,, alot of people call it amalfi OR call amalfi blue aqua blue,,, iwas mentioning the difference
agreed. i own a amalfi cabriolet. they were xr3is, the colour is special edtion, not the car. however they were only available on g or h reg and should be efi and 90 spec throughout.

they should all be power hooded as this was standard on the 90spec 3i.

they had a limited edtion 90 spec which was also efi, with two tone paint and non recaro half leather. they were blue with silver, gold with black and burgendy with silver.

they also had limited colours on mfi, amathist blue(looks pink) acua blue almost baby blue.

then there was the tennis which was white with green badges and half leather recaros
