Recently I purchased a long sought English language RS2 brochure off eBay.uk. I arrived today. Not that much new (I had jpgs of most of the pages, as it turns out). However, one thing I noted with surprise was the colours that were available (the brochure was supposed to be for 1995 RS2s).
1. They messed around with the blues. In 1994, they offered brilliant blue (Y5K), indigo blue (Z5U) and RS-blue pearl effect (Z5M) For the 1995 and 1996 model years, they dropped brilliant blue and went with blue pearl effect (Z5T) instead. Indigo and RS-blue stayed.
2. Several colours were listed as unavailable in the UK, i.e.:
Brilliant black
Amethyst Grey
Indigo Pearl effect
Brilliant blue (no mention of blue pearl effect)
Emerald
Ruby Red
The only UK colours listed were:
Laser red
Polar silver metallic
Ragusa (green) metallic
RS Blue Pearl effect
Volcano Black
The question is, does this make sense?
Here is what my friend Kate, the friendly parts girl says about RS2 colours:
