The lovely amaranth was one of the launch colours and ran through until '97 or '98 so, therefore you'll find it on MK1's only.

I've got the data on my pc (I'm on the laptop at the moment) I'll get it later unless Dave or Dieter come along first.

No F's or TF's were sold or delivered to America, south America and Mexico yes (don't forget Mexico had the TF150, a derated version of the 160 due to the 91 octane fuel used in areas and the higher altitude, although, saying that, we found a Mexican spec TF150 in Sweden in 2006, it was one of the 93 Price Waterhouse Coopers finished cars after the company collapse in 2005).
Bilstein shocks, Piper 4-2-1 manifold, Daytona, Vader cold-air induction, custom Z and F Stage 2 re-map, Electric boot release, braided hoses, Blue Magnecor leads, Technozen relays, Stage 1 head, BMW Angel Eyes headlights, "MG" puddle lights.

Nor originally delivered to Canada, but there is ONE here!

I'm constantly getting positive comments from people about the colour and they are so surprised to hear that it was a factory colour.
