Found these Macau Motorsports with the centre badges, weren't the Macau cars from the second batch? :? Steve also throws a spanner in what I thought about the Nagaro centers only being on the Tech 2 cars in the second thread.:mad:

I've updated the Wiki page with what's been said in Gaz's thread and earlier in this one so far but already seems to be wrong thanks to these two threads.

this early car too is Sonderlack ? when parked side by side with macau it's darker and lacks the "purple" haze that Macau blue has ? !!

Sonderlack means special paint. That's what Macau cabrios had on the strut tower. Hence my sarcasm comment.

The two cars you had side by side would have both been Macau. The difference you noticed was either down to the condition of the paint or one of them had been painted incorrectly.

Macau is quite a sensitive colour to be condition it's in very much like lachs silver which can look bright when in good condition or quite dull almost like delphin grey when old flat and shit.

Nagaro centres were only on the 3rd and 4th batch cars with factory fit tech 2 kits.

Has anyone any info what is the definitive spec for option code 786 ' Motorsport paket '. I often see references to it but the specs all seem to vary. A badly fitted tech 2 kit does seem to be common to all of them :)

The cab with the bent track rod and collapsed seat that I joyfully stabbed holes in had the full paket.

As turds go, that was a special turd !


The Ilford tax disc (6 months obviously) was a warning sign that the buyer should not have ignored ! :eek:
