Yew, I ttyped "1985-1990" as I was in a hurry & late! My bad! A;;ow
me to correct! 1984-1990. The 1984s came 2 ways:-
ASC White / Dark Regatta Blue Interior & Dark Blue Roof
ascMcLaren Red / Sand Beige Interior & Tan Roof
Jet Black / Sand Beige Interior & Tan Roof

1 car was made:-
Jubbu Blue / Sand Beige Interior / Tan Roof
SORRY
