I wasn't aware of this "variety". John Scrivens, any ideas?

Spooooooooooky...............
I was only speaking to John Scrivens about this one today, it would seem that the top one is the rarest Ed, which is a Champagne gold where as the standard is a greenish gold. the new guide when it is printed in a year or 2 will document the Champagne version as only a few. Ed you've had a bit of a result there because it is quite tough to get hold of.

Thanks a lot for that Mo.The champagne gold one is mint but the "green" one was chipped around the mirror when I clumsily inserted the mirror.I may attempt to have the damage repaired by Brooklin.Thanks again.

Champagne T Bird
Mo Browns reply is absolutely right. Nobody is sure when the light gold version was produced but well worth having especially now it has been deleted from the range. Another case of difficulties in replicating a specific colour shade.

Damage
Not sure whether the factory will be able to help. Interesting to know whether they can or not. You may even get a choice of colour.

John,a couple of year`s ago I had a similar problem when paint chipped on a yellow
Nomad when I inserted the aerial. Brooklin kindly resprayed that one (in the original colour).I`m a bit reluctant to ask a second time as it was solely my own fault this time.The sauterne one does come up on ebay occasionally.
