Thanks. Love that brochure. Mine has the wind open, slide back sunroof, electric aerial and a few other things, I also have those wheels still on her.

Not a Carousel, but I have a Crusader which is not too far away and getting rarer I guess....

The brochure states "there will be some available in Roman Bronze and Tuscan Beige" suggesting that the main colours were the green and grey ones with just a small amount available in bronze/beige (possibly only to order).

One of the lads at my school (well, his dad to be precise), had one of the early Carousels with padded A frame headrests. VAC 314X. It was brown over beige as well. But I never knew that they were still using Roman Bronze as a colour by then. I had thought it was replaced by another colour (sable brown?) for mk5. Must have been revived for the special edition.

I love the two tone green of my carousel. After I have finished the restoration I will be having her resprayed the same colour obviously. I wonder how many are left...

Mine is the 2 time green and I personally think its the best colour combo. I will try and load some photos over this weekend-I'm not very computer literate!!!!
