yep thats true. I've seen many older red cars with about half a dozen different shades of red paint on them from fading in the sun

You`ll never find a 2 door mate, best to import one from the UK if you really want one. You can bring a pre 1989 one easily, freight is $2500, compliance is not too much. Get a 2 door 16v in the UK and bring it

This one is on ebay at the mo

5 door auto, but looks in good nick. Easy conversion to manual though.

I rand up the dealer and it has $4000 on the windscreen, but it is a trade in and he will negiotiate.

He is at 84 Paramatta Rd, Lidcombe 0408 863808
