The rarest should be a 96/97 model for the german market with the adjustment to the restrictive emissions regulations Euro 2 and the legalized third brakelight.

Yellow is a very rare color but not as rare as 7.

As for in the USA, I'd have to say ANY 97, as only 660 were imported into the USA...

This question would have to be qualified. If I put luminous acid green leather upholtery in my car, I'm pretty sure nobody else would be stupid enough to do the same, it would be the only one in the world, I could claim it as the rarest SVX.

However, a collector would consider my modification as devaluing the car, so this rarity would be of no value.

If your question on rarity relates to factory released cars, then some of the pre-production cars would qualify, but I would plump for the pace car they built with the weird purple paint job.

I'm willing to bet Laguna Blue is way rarer than Barcelona Red.

Again, if you go world-wide, then Yellow must be the rarest of all. We should check with the factory to see how many were produced.

There is also a very nice dark Graphite grey, not too many around. Phil in the UK bought a late-model JDM car this year with a rare blue colour. It would be good to know how many of these were produced. Peacock Blue is the factory name for it.


Thanks Phill

Mal's car

BTW, Mal had his yellow car at the summer meet in Peterborough. It is as good as you see it in the pic, maybe better.

He has it in lovely condition, and the aftermarket wheels suit it really well, lend a more modern look to it.

Banana Power!!!

If you want the rarest year, then yes 97 would be it. But, if you really want to be technical the rarest SVX would be a FWD model. They didn't make too many of those.

Danny,

Does yours have no O2 sensors, or just no catalytic converters?

Yeah, no 02 sensors seems strange. The ECM needs that info!

I would have to go with the Pace Car.

I wonder who has that stashed away, and where......and the code to the alarm.....and the phone number to a really clean car thief for hire.
