ohhhhh COME ON MIKE... raiders are common as muck... i can name 3 local to me.

I rarely see any ph1's in leccy blue!

Im guessing the phase 1, seeming as there is around 300 raiders left and there are 719 phase 1s left according to the DVLA. Doubt 300 of those are on the C reg let alone electric blue.

Leccy blue i'd say is rare. I wouldnt have a clue how many would be around but i'd guess anyway at no more than 50 odd not even that many

phase i 16 v turbo

i heard that the paint on the electric blue was thinner than other colours, hence why they rot more than other colours, hence why they are rarer.

Funny how thats got round as i heard the same only this time it was on the pearl white ones as it was hard to get the paint looking right, same story different colour, as for the rust, may have something to do with the minimum amount of protection that was put on the cars.

This is meant to be true so i was told many moons ago over a Stella in France talking to a fellow R5Turbo owner.

How about the Electric Blue cross over? I think they're one of the best colours going.

When I had mine it was alot lower than that on black powder coated standard wheels. I'll always remember some random, really well spoken old fella, 60+, telling me how nice the car looked and how rare it must be. As rare as the Raider should be really:D

Thanks, Kris:)

I saw that at ND. I thought the car looked bad arse when I saw it. I've never had so many people ask about a car i've owned before. That is one of the best.

I actually had people pull up next to me at traffic lights and ask about it.

i heard the reason why some are more prone to rust is because different factories made different models and used different paints and metals for the shell hence some of them dont have as good protection and rust. this is meant to have been the same with 106's

Wait, that's not the picture from when I was sleeping in the car, is it?:laugh:

I annoyed so many people that night:D

first time i saw one of these was in 2005, at the 20 years of the r5 meet.- another non UK colour.

01-10-2009, 23:28

I've had people calling me about the Raider saying mine's actually very cheap:crap:

Makes me wish i'd put it up for the 3.5k to 4k they're going for on Pistonheads. And by one blokes standards, £3.5k buys you a ****ter, which mine is not.

I still class electric blue as one of the rarest colours.

Phase 1 tungy grey has to be one of the rarest, did the French not get the electric blue colour as well?

I have seen a LHD GTE before in this colour and figured they may of done a few GTT's in lecky blue too?

ok so are we agreed that:

Tungsten ph1 is EUROPE only.

Yellow ph2 is EUROPE only.

electric blue ph1 wasn't a French colour. - UK only?

electric blue with colour coded bits were actually a ph 1.5 - usually an E reg, similar to the colour coded pearl white cars.

anyone else noticed:

red ph2's are usually F reg?
white cars are usually G/H reg?

Mart

Not sure about UK only on that one. I've seen a few Belgian electric blue ph1's. In fact, didn't Duncan (Duncs) have one (or was after one) at one point as his run-around in Luxembourg?

I wonder if the colour coded bodykit (ph1.5) was a factory option at the time?

i think Robby - Limburgio - used to have a ph1 in electric blue, but i can't remember if he was belgian or dutch.

we need the french members to help out here.

No, it was a Phase 2. There was no fecking Phase 1.5 :mad:

How about this one. I remember hearing a rumour many moons ago that only 600 UK cars were painted in Electric Blue. Whether that was ph1's and ph2's, or just ph1's, or just ph2's, or was in fact bollox, who knows?

Robby is from Belgium. I think I remember him telling me that they got both Electric Blue and Yellow, but the yellow ones were like gold dust!

you know what i mean, - a cross over model.
so what would you call a car with a ph2 water system, aei over the turbo and colour codes bumpers? -"unlucky", "le freak", or just painted to look like a ph2 ?
