Hi there,

Not sure of this is of help but I have photographed the following: -

3 x Orange VT (all belong to members of this forum)



1 x Black



3 x Yellow







1 x Grey

1 x Dark Blue



Plus these have appeared in other posts on Pistonheads recently (not my photos)











inc yours (photo'd above), that makes at least 14 assuming that all of the ones above are different cars (I am pretty sure they are).

Regards

Tim

Hi there,

Thanks for that, I like the new plate more than the old (VT 51X VT) very clever.

ah right, I thought it was the SE because the SE doesn't have a spoiler on it. I have a pic at home, not here though. I'm not sure now if the black one is an SE either. I think it is.

I do have a photo of 1 gold RHD SE that was for sale in Japan a while back. I'm 99.9999% certain there were only ever 3 RHD SE's though, the black, orange and yellow. Maybe it was converted or something...

yea as mentioned it's a kit, I'm surprised there was never a Verde 6.0 made... frown

I have learned from a reliable source (Mrs Edwards at the chippy) that only 14 came into the Uk. Wasnt one 6 painted from ? to orange?
Whether its 14 or 16 it's reassuring to learn how rare they are especially if you are lucky enough to own a nice one like the black one in the photos. The yellow 51 plate one is nice too but its always good to have something to aim for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you filled it up yet!
