if it helps, 883 V8's were made, of which I believe 23 were Royal Blue in colour (5 prefacelift all saloons and 18 facelifted, of which 8 saloons) so it's not as rare as the seller is making out ?

It is one of five, that is pretty rare I guess, but not unique...
When the seller tells you its very rare, do you tell the seller its one of 5 or one of 23 ?????Originally Posted by Coasting

If the seller was one of us 5 but with him prob not knowing then 23. About 3.5%? If 23. Though I prefer the mkI so to me its 5 so quite a bit rarer but its no Orange...
For me it not that important which colour it is. I saw a Royal Blue Rover V8 and I think it suits te model very well. More important to me is that it is a car with good history and with al the goodies from the cataloque.
I think that this one has all that and the latest news..........I made a deposit and fly over next week to see the car!!! Hopefully I will drive it back to Holland next week...
Let you know asap if the deal is closed....For know...there is a very happy man in Holland
great news Eric - well done!!!For me it not that important which colour it is. I saw a Royal Blue Rover V8 and I think it suits te model very well. More important to me is that it is a car with good history and with al the goodies from the cataloque.
