Question One off factory colour for an XB
Saw this very nice XB on Ebay, he says it's a one off factory colour, Paint Code Y390 Euclid Highlight green, which makes me think it was for a company, any ideas?

Rare one off factory XB GS you wont find another. - have original books. Paint Code Y390 Euclid Highlight green. No other car exists in this factory colour full stop! Dont send me BS emails that you have one or know a mates, brothers, cousins neighbour that has one the same factory colour because NO other exits.

HAHAHA

Don't tell him, judging by the ad on eBay he will be very upset....it's the only one.

Its a great looking car, bit pricey IMO for a non matching I6 though. If it was a V8 then no worries.

And it was repainted so it's not "original"

"The exterior has been repainted sometime ago and shows signs of ageing,"

He also needs to make up his mind

" I am also open to offer. Not interested in swaps. Cash talks."

But then

"Vehicle is located at Lonsdale in SA about 35 mins south of the city. May consider swap or swap and cash.

Actually he says its a 1 of 1 in existence, so perhaps he's discovered that there are no more around in that colour now as any others may have departed this earth in the last 40+ years.

As the colour is Euclid Green its possible they may have been a couple of specials for the Earthmoving company

Very nice car and manual is nice. However too much $$$$ IMO for a non matching 6. Even a matching numbers 6 is pushing it. If it was a V8, I would be interested since I'm in Adelaide.

Makes mine look like a bargain. Just paid $20000 Nz for an Xb Fairmont Gs 351, with factory sunroof, power windows, tinted glass, option 52 wheels, factory sports suspension plus heaps more options. Not in mint condition but useable and not rusty.
