What shade of Red is the Elite.

Is it the same as mine?


That's the same colour as mine, looks nice when clean and polished.  :y

Totally agree, sadly neither of mine are that clean at the moment, , in fact I have owned the Elte (red) since April and have never even washed it.  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-/

Yep, remember them, the first ones, in thsi country, had 3 seats, side by side, in the front, no back seats, and left hand drive only.
I liked the Rabcho, had one for a couple of years, loads of space, well ahead of it's time but only ever front wheel drive. A Simca van really.

Neither. It was an Esprit. The Europa is going back a bit! I think I've only ever seen one of them on the road ie not at a show of some sort.
