I must be insane.......
.......because I bought another SVX....!
What can I say - I just can't help myself.........! I must admit - Burgundy is my favorite colour on an SVX (followed closely by Charcoal Grey!) Would you believe - this SVX was the very next SVX to be produced after my Charcoal Grey one - it's VIN number is 1 higher! Jason.

Re: I must be insane.......
Yes, you are nuts! I can not relate to that what so ever!
It looks great. Congratulation! It is also amazing that it is only 1 number different.

Re: I must be insane.......
Jason. I am very pleased that you purchased THAT SVX.
I saw it advertised and thought it was a BEAUTY!!! Exactly the same as mine!!! Even the headlight covers... This car appeared to be very, very nice and low km's. AWESOME. Well done.

Re: I must be insane.......
I actually saw that and didn't buy it because it looked red, instead of Burgundy.
Shame that no-one realised the quiet addition to my signature line a few weeks ago...

Re: I must be insane.......
That is a hot SVX.
I wish that combo was available in the US... The color looks nice, and similar to my Garnet Red Legacy... and I always love the black roof/trunk, especially with tint. Looks fantastic over the dark red with the darker silver wheels. That is an amazing coincidence that those two cars that were consecutive on the line, are now consecutive in your driveway! Nice purchase.

Re: I must be insane.......
Likewise Jason. Smashing purchase. Congratulations.
We call that colour Ruby Mica. For certain it was not available in the USA, and I've never seen a native one in England, only on Japanese imports. We know of one that was last stationed in Germany but was originally registered in Switzerland. So they at least sold them in continental Europe. And Australia, lucky gits. It may actually be the same colour as Garnet; the code for it is 247 so you could check your code and see if there is a similarity. It dates from '89 and I've seen the code 047 for it also. Joe

Re: I must be insane.......
Thanks for the correction. The Network actually does not have any record or copies of brochures that came originally from NZ.
Do forgive us if we seem to lump you in with Australia, but that will be because we have no real data on sales material from NZ to go on.

Re: I must be insane.......
I noticed, but what could I say? Sadly, wives are no longer considered possessions over here. Can't keep em, can't sell em, but the color on yours is nice

Re: I must be insane.......
Not at all - I just can't find one!
There have been plenty of 2WD series 1 Vortexes around - but I have not found a single series 2, turbo, 4WD, 4EAT Vortex in good condition! .....thankfully, SVXs don't rust like Vortexes do - and they are MUCH nicer to drive!! Harvey - the colour code is 947. Jason.
