NA 1.8 Colours

Postby tinsfci » Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:55 am

I am currently looking for a good 1.8 NA. Appart from the usual red, red, red, white and blue ones, what other colours were available (not special editions)? Are the silver and black 94-> cars aus delivered? If someone could point me to a list of the colours that were available it would be great.

Thanks

Pete

this lists some but not all as there was also a mariner blue na6 & of course other colours in the na8s. silver na8s were aust delivered along with, i believe, a small number of black na8s. there was also the new blue (laguna?/ montego?) na8.

Thanks for the replies (and the link). At the moment my favorite colour is anything besides red. Knowing that the silver, and black ones were AUS delivered makes my search a bit easier. Black looks very noice, but finding anything in Perth is difficult ATM.

Do yourself a favour.. Do a search on tradingpost.com.au under Brisbane and go look at the 97 Montego Blue one listed for $14,990. I managed to get her down to $14,000 and I know in about a week or so she will go lower.

I expect her to call me in a day or two and accept my offer which was below that.....But she be toooo late now.

Its well worth the flight... great car.

Cheers

Go with your first instinct. Personally I hate red cars. But whatever colour you get no matter how much you like or dislike it...it will always grow on you.
I reckon NAs look best in black, mariner blue or silver personally.

I currently have a photo of a black one on my wall at work, and in a couple of weeks it should be in my driveway! Handover should be tomorrow in Sid-in-ee.

Love it!

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
