Hi BTM,

Have you read the details for the above 50th........ :lol:

Caribic green pearlescent....................................... :?

What the hell is that all about............... :?:


Simple fact........... 50ths only came in two colours

White gold
or
Atlantis Blue


Attn "WOODY"

If you read this............get to look at the vin plate, copy the number down and then visit your local dealer, ask him to confirm its a 50th
If they won't or can't then ring L/R at solihull and ask for the customer care people they will confirm............
I had to ring L/R to confirm mine was a 50th

I reckon with it being a 'general car trader' he doesn't know the correct name.
From the photos, the wing badges are there & it's got Lightstone leather (7) seats & driver air-bag only.

phoned fri to check it was still available, told i would be up first thing sat morning. left Blackpool at 6 am, arrived at 9:10 and he was closed so i checked the vehicle out, in the yard,went for breakfast and came back about 9:30, he was open so i had a look inside everything seemed ok.
i asked if i could have a test drive
He said sorry i am waiting for someone to pick up a car, come back after 12!!!!
i explained that i had travelled 180 miles to see this car but he didnt seem interested
so i spent a half hour in the car trying to arrange to see another vehicle
went back to try again for a test drive but again not until after 12 so i left  :cry:

If you definately want a 50th, one of our Nurses lives about 100yards from the garage where I px'd mine, & apparantly it's still on the forecourt.

(or was Saturday afternoon)

Silkstone 4x4
Go to Stock List & it's about half-way down
Ignore the registration, I've kept it


Multi-Map (twixt Barnsley & Manchester on the A628)

It could do with new shocks, springs & bushes though)
