Which is rarer a Raider or an Electric Blue Phase I on a C plate?
Which is rarer a Raider or an Electric Blue Phase I on a C plate?
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!
Mike mike mike, so that one you have stashed away should be worth a mint... you must have one
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.
I know of 2
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
I have 2 D reg ones and one C reg, just thought I would ask.
But are they as rare as the yellow gtt's?

Are we talking abroad or in the ukBut are they as rare as the yellow gtt's?
was yellow even a u.k spec
nowas yellow even a u.k spec
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.
we got electric blue, the french got yellow.....or so i heard.was yellow even a u.k spec
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.
..whats that then mate?
Look at my last pic J
that yellow cannon car i used to see all the time in reigate surrey... funny enough right by the cannon offices
nearly bought one like this..

like the blue...
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
how about another mega rare ph1 colour

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?
I can see my sleeping bag, but not me. That was back in 2006? At Brunters...
I annoyed so many people that night
Speaking of C reg Ph1s, had a lad come and offer me 3.5k for mine yesturday... So i ermmmmm
Kept it and said noooooo am ok thanksDid i do the right thing???

first time i saw one of these was in 2005, at the 20 years of the r5 meet.- another non UK colour.
I've had people calling me about the Raider saying mine's actually very cheap
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.
the yellow paint was only available in France wasn't it ? and we got the electric blues over here

we did get the ali g 5 though.....
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?
And then it was ruined...Thanks, Kris

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?
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?
Err, if you do want to sell mr, I want first refusal pleaseSpeaking of C reg Ph1s, had a lad come and offer me 3.5k for mine yesturday... So i ermmmmm

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.
Silver Ph1 only made 1986-87
Silver Ph2 only made 1988-89
No silver after 1989...
Pearl white only made until 1989.
I wonder how many phase 1's are left with the unpainted side skirts.
No, it was a Phase 2. There was no fecking Phase 1.5
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!
I own 5 Phase I without painted kits.I wonder how many phase 1's are left with the unpainted side skirts.
Thats just being greedy
So you have 5 phase 1 cars, wow.
and J reg
