Hi

I introduced myself a couple of months ago so I thought I'd show a picture of my car ..

It's a rare colour midnight blue ( I would love to know how many other midnight blue cars are left ?)as I've never seen another one at any shows !!

I've owned the car for 23 years and its hopefully soon to go away for a full restoration

The engine is currently with Harris performance engines to be built to a high spec..

Cheers Mark

Nice I remember seeing one in a car showroom about 15 years ago in that colour, and I think my mate has one pretty sure the same colour needs resto tho.

[Rally Pack 2000]

Its a colour used on our R2000s/Rally Packs (Mexico equiv) in Australia too.

I was told it was the rarest colour for a mk2 rs2000 but I'm not sure that's a 100% true

Very rare colour ,not many about in midnight blue, most of them probably got colour changed, my mate just sold his for top money he owned it since 96., someone saw it and made him a offer he couldn't refuse

Ive not seen many in this colour, the last one I saw had light coloured interior which was in mint condition I have to say. It was a refreshing change to see light colour inside with darker exterior and not black !

I had a black with beige seats

I think the last ones had a light seats and roof linings if i remember ?

Hi thanks for your comments

My work mate bought the car in 86 .. I bought the car in 93 after nagging him to death to sell me it

The car had blue velour seats front and back the same as a ghia ... We both assumed at some point in its early life it had stolen and the interior had taken and replaced ghia interior ..,

The first thing I did was to junk that interior a replace it with fishnet recaro

I googled the reg number many years later and it was on a piston heads forum about my car apparently the first owner didn't want recaro seats .. So it was a custom model with a ghia interior even the dash had the fake wood on from the factory!!!

Most of my mates had a 1.1l or a popular

If they were flash maybe a popular plus

I bought a "Midnight" RS2000 three years ago.

Currently is "Alligator Grey" (undercoat), and on a spit.

In Australia the Midnight colour is by far the rarest of the RS2000 colours.

Simply because it was not a very popular colour when the cars were new.

Still growing on me. Maybe one day.....

Midnight blue is a fantastic colour!! For me it was love at first sight!!

There is a beautiful one on uk eBay at the moment.. I don't particular like the interior colour ( biege ) but the rest of the car is stunning..

Good luck with yours ..
