Just wondering if there were any 75's built in Solar Red, or similar? Was off out doing some Christmas shopping with my wife today. On our way I saw a facelift 75 in something that looked like solar red, but faded. I've never seen this colour on a 75 before. Unfortunately it was going the opposite direction so I didn't get the Reg.

Only two produced in Solar Red. Thought to have been a special order for the Newcastle Fire Brigade. One was scrapped, I know as I was there when it was loaded onto the scrap lorry. Have a word with Ian G, he tried rescuing the car.

Also only 2 produced in Rio Red.

That would explain why I've not seen one before then! It looked odd, but at the same time I quite liked it.

Most likely a ZT?

Only if someone had gone to the effort of swapping the front bumper for a facelift 75, and the boot trim, and having it painted...

Not any of those, as it was a facelift, but the colour looked closest to the last photo.
