I know you can still buy it cos we painted my lasses nova in it not to long back!

[Alpine99]

[david dixon]

not really sure mate, now i think about it there isn't many in that colour kicking around.

[krobinson]

Thats not true!!

There were thousands of breeze blue SR & SRi's made!

mustard yellow is fairly rare though :wink:

mustard yellow is fairly rare though :wink: not as rare as brown lol

[J4MES]

not really rare, but breeze blue, mustard yellow and silk violet are definately the best standard colours for novas

Silkviolet was only available if you added it on to the list of extras when pre odering a nova gsi(in the gsi range) as new,also same applied with mistral gray and i think star silver also..

Was it possible is order a GSi in the SRi range? hehe

[ANDYRACER]

There not that rare ive seen loads and i used to own one i scraped it. So thats one more down. :lol:

[loggyboy]

Breeze blue was avaialble on MK2s only, it was opn SRs, SRis and Flares, of the four colours the SR(i)s were avaialble in it seems to be the rarist, however theres still plenty about.

Silk violet wasnt limited to just GSis, Luxes were also available in it.
According tho my 1992 range brochure the only colour that was a 'Cost Option' was black - this is due to black showing every small dent in shells, even new ones, so a specially good body would be sourced when painting it black.

The Blue flairs are actually Porto Blue. Just slightly different to the breeze blue on the sri's.

[SRimon]

Breeze blue is a gorgeous colour though!

[SKoob]

lazer line blue is the best blue they painted a nova 8)

[loggyboy]

The Blue flairs are actually Porto Blue. Just slightly different to the breeze blue on the sri's.
No mention of porto blue in the range catalogue i have here. :?

just breeze (for Flair and SRi)
miami for trip and merit
and
cosmos for trip merit and merit +

black is a cost option on flair and sri

silkviolet is cost option on gsi, free on luxe+
diamond black free on luxe +

how about glacier white flip at edges with a rust colour thats not too rare is it

[loggyboy]

yeah.. that rust flip tends to be really popular :(

[ANDYRACER]

Thats a good point when i went to get some touch up paint for my sr it came back as porto blue on the vin plate. Does this sound odd or did they make sr in porto blue?

[Austin_Nova16]

Same as my flair then Andy. Took the paint code off of the steel plate on the slam pannel to the paint shop and it came up Porto blue. And it is different to Breeze...

[loggyboy]

What year were/are your porto blue cars?

pehaps breeze blue changed to porto after a certain age, or vice versa

[Austin_Nova16]

perhaps there were.....

Mines a 1992 (september I think) K-reg

[ANDYRACER]

It was a H reg 91 sr

[loggyboy]

lmao.. that fu cks that theory!

[5toprjepog]

Mayb you got a repainted car

[Austin_Nova16]

with an altered pressed paint code plate? Probably not.

[ANDYRACER]

Na it wasnt repainted and the plates looked like they had been there a long time. Wierd. It was a late registered h reg so i wonder if that had ought to do with it?

[ANDYRACER]

I still remember the no. plate of my old car and was wondering does anyone know a website i could find some details about my car? Im quite interested now to know due to my car fucking up loggyboy's theory. Wat about the DVLA?
