Yellow V8s
« on: May 17, 2004, 22:05:51 »
I saw a realy smart 90 in Bushbury main dealers today, a bright Yellow V8 90, neat spot lamps in the yellow painted front bumper, full soft top, High back front seats, no rear seats and lot of checker plate.

Look like that French special of a few years ago.

Very nice - I want one.

Do you mean the 'Eastnor'?, but then again I think that was a Tdi.

It's more probably someones copy of a NAS 90 (North American Specification)

Then again, are you sure it was a V8? The South African 90's were imported by Rogers of Bedford in 'AA Yellow' (they had the B*W 2.8litre straight-6 petrol)

Nop - it was brand new, a V8, made for the uk, right hand drive, factory built, NAS style rear lights.

I used to like the Yellow ones, mine was an original one (ex BT) but was painted over in a nice grey. Think they are terribly common nowdays like the Audi TT and Discovery  :twisted:

Soon however my90 will be back to yellow, but the Sand Yellow as I have not seen many non military ones of them around.

Guess it must be a 'Special Vehicles' jobbie then Chris. Sorry I assumed you meant on the 'used' forecourt, not brand new.
