A guy went into a RS dealer, late 73 is, and test drove a Mex, liked it, but after test drive, pointed at a new Purple Velvet 1300E in the showroom and said, can I have looking like that?
Dealer phoned Special Build direct, and they said yes, and AVO built his Mex, with Custom Pack (vinyl roof, RS seats, wood dash & console, etc) but in Purple Velvet, and with 1300E style over-rider bumpers as well IIRC. It looked exactly like a 1300E two-door but with Mexico badges, etc. The car turned up at a AVO National Day back in the mid 80's, guy who owned, I think bought it of the original owner, thus knowing the full story of how it came about. Car was mint. Again, I will photo's of it somewhere in a box laugh
I presume (hope) it's still around, being such a unique car.
i think i have seen this car
