There were 2 special orders, that were not listed as available:-
In 1989 there was no yellow offered. There was a request for the
1987/1988's HOT Yellow on a 1989 and they made it. It has a Sand
Beige Interior & a Dark Chocolate Top.
The other special request was a 1989 (also) in British Racing Green
from the same year Jaguar. It was made with Sand Beige Leather and a
Tan Top. I have never located either car.
There was just one of one made in 1986, on the Mercury Capri Chassis,
but it was really beautiful, allthough it may not sound it....It was
featured in a movie, a movie that was apretty big hit, but I cannot
recall the name of the movie. THAT car was one of the 14 made in
Platinum Silver (Roadsters) but it had Sand Beige Recaros & a Tan
top, and boy, did it look GREAT! (Yes, I located it - it's in Fla.)
