Anonymous Unregistered A	i think it was more down to lack of availability, hence the lack of white or yellow plus models!

Anonymous Unregistered A	When I bought my first 20VT new in 1999, this was an option for the 2000 model year. This was on the brochure at the dealer I seem to recall. Wasn't really in fashion back then as most were either red, sprint and portofino blues. I ended up buying a Speed red version with tan leather sunroof and aircon from a Belgium Fiat dealer. When I picked my car up I recall seeing the rare "primer" coloured LE parked a few cars up!

Anonymous Unregistered A	Its a Rally car, not pretty, but functional. Don't pick on metros either - they make great platforms for track weapons when coupled with a 1.8vvc engine from an MG/elise, and this is a straight engine swap as well. No comparison for modern cars in any way, but fantastic track weapons. I speak from 1st hand experience of building one...
