You have to be horrible to me and take the mick a lot, for me to be able to remember you.

Never mind, T, blame the Rohypnol tongue

Nice pics Mr. No.1! The colour is coming across as almost blue, like a sad iceberg, or an eskimo's scrotum! Would you agree?

The only one I've seen in the flesh was in Harrogate about six or seven years ago. There was a meet and a guy came over from Lancashire way. It smoked a bit and had a weird exhaust but looked good.

There are the pics I got when I was discussing buying the LE001. Still regret I didn't do it, but the risk of breaking the 7-year old belts at that time was a bit too much.

Not seen an eskimos scrotum, but there is a definite blue tinge to the chrono LE bumper I have at home. I wonder if an eskimo has cracked lips like the bumper?

The last time I saw one this colour was many years ago. It was when my first one was covered in primer ready for her respray after getting hit in a carpark and the front end was pushed through concrete posts by my wifes ex boss in his 4x4. Maybe if she was just laquered and not painted she would have looked the same.

Colour is very reactive to light - at night under petrol station forecourt lights it looks nearer to RAF "Duck egg" blue.

I'll admit there are a couple of small car park door dings, but not nearly enough ripples to compare her to that.... laugh

So, seems as though I've seen two Chrono's previously then, not just the one in Blackpool.

The colour obviously made a lasting impression on you, most memorable not!
Enough said! thumb

As Evo knows I was desperate to get a Chrono when I returned to Coupe'ship a few years ago but gave up waiting after 15 months of looking and bought Motormechs own Steely .....typically the day after I put the deposit down a Chrono came up on Pistonheads! Still a couple of years on with the Steely and zero issues - Its a cracker......

Oh and the Abarth 500 is now in Chrono too!

I saw an amazing Chrono in Dartmouth a few years ago reg. T20V LE but the fella pulled off on to the ferry just as I approached - never found the owner/number....

I like it lots.

I think my second favourite could be silver with black leather having perved one like that at B&W Coldash years ago. To me it looked like a full size Monopoly piece car.

The gloss grey primer shade on the Punto Evo looks good to me even if the facelift moustache is hideous. They look a lot better from behind. It's a shame nobody thought about making the big black plastic tache match the slim black plastic lip on the rear bumper.

I think the TT shade is called Arrow Grey. I like the new Ice Blue on the BMW Mini too.

Re the garage - just noticed that the pic makes the garage look really small from that angle, can assure you it went in easily without scuffing the mirrors !

So where is LE 0001 and has it gone to a street racer? Links?

That was years ago Mario. It came up for sale not too long ago and disappeared to Spain. That is what I am interested in.
