NCT'ed an all...

Wow, a "White Hen"! Never saw one of these in Ireland.

Interestingly (?) FILA have had a few car special editions with their name on them

Ford thunderbird in the 80s, lancia Y10

And of course Ducati special editions too.






Similarly, you have the Suzuki Cultus Ellesse special edition


And the 500 DIESEL special edition (that's only available in petrol....)

Replaced by the "00 sport" model that got alloys too

I remember the Toyota Starlet "jeans" special edition with denim seats, but can't find any pics online

I'm amused at one company putting their name on another completely different company's product.

I'm only joking, hard to do all the different colours is what I meant!

Still I've heard of fake ones of these being made. They'll be worth a fortune in years to come.

The Schumacher Fiat Cinquecento.

The "Harrier" special edition of the MK5 came with some wicked graphics

The Millenium edition was available in the Ka, Puma and Focus ranges. All cars were done in unique yellow paint, with a black leather interior.

Rover 114 Metro Harlequin

In the Uk - Nissan did an Executive version of the Bluebird with Air conditioning, leather etc - they did two batches - the first lot in 1988 had a 1.8 turbo charged engine (there was also a ZX turbo in the normal Bluebird line up in UK) and the 2nd batch had the 2.0 fuel injected NA engine.

Think it was the Seicento, apparently he learnt to drive on a fiat 600 or something.

I'd love one of those for the missus.
I remember there was one for sale last year for handy money.

Heres an example of the Bluebird executive I mentioned earlier

Yes seen that one - had a look at that add to put up on this tread - but he had no proper pics of the leather - so went looking for something else.

And found the one I linked to above

They weren't special Editions, they were just factory cars. I had a white 1989 4 door Bluebird ZX Turbo, it was a beautiful car and fast back in it's day. The engine was the same engine from the silvia/180sx of the time, the CA18DET which developed 130bhp. I absolutely loved that car.

The ZX turbo was definitely part of the normal Bluebird range - but I thought they only did 500 of the Executive turbo and 2,000 of the fuel injected Executives.

But I am open to correction though.

Does the R19 Bacarra count as a special edition - think they had leather and stuff

Kaiser D

My Renault 5 is a "Le Shot" Campus - dunno if its an actual special edition or a dealer special.

CiniO

Seicento Schumacher

colm_mcm

There was "Le Car" Renault 5 as well. My uncle had one.

My aunt had a Fiat Uno "Blanco" (it was white)
She had an Uno "Hobby" after that, it had roof rails IIRC.
Another uncle had a Renault 9 "American" and a Primera "invitation" (base model plus ABS)

Renault Megane tomtom

We had a gt line tomtom until the start of this year. Tomtom didn't appear anywhere on the car and was just the satnav spec. Odd picture there, didn't think you could get a tomtom with a spec that had air conditioning, as opposed to climate control. The tomtom satnav was ****ing horribly laid out. It's a prime example of how not to do a UI.

colm_mcm

I remember the Renault Megane "6 CD"
Last of the pre facelift megane saloons. Stick a cd changer in the boot, form an orderly queue!

ninty9er

Opel Astra Olympic from 1996. No pics to be found.

Red Kev

Citroen 2CV James Bond, even had fake bullet hole stickers.

Toyota had one or two special editions corollas that were different body shapes. Can't remember the name, but I thought they looked better than the standard car.
