ioneabee Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Spotted one of these in Pembroke Dock (Pembrokeshire) on Friday - I did wave but was past too quick before i fully realized he was there Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Is that an import or a resprayed one? Always loved that colour, but pretty sure you couldn't get it in the UK... Quote
Stew Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 It's interlagos fire fire though rather than brickyard. It'll be a type G and there aren't many around these shores! Quote

JetSet Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 It'll be an import If it is then it'll most likely be U.S import and thus LHD. As far as I can make out this was a U.S colour only for 2003. I looked on the colour chart and there is no equivalent for Europe/JDM/Australia. EDIT, Yes, not even available in Canada, didn't sell well in The States but now fetch good money over there. Interlagos Fire was available in Japan however and I believe that 2 cars have made their way into the U.K. If the boom in JDM imports had of continued beyond 2005 then we would have had quite a few in the country, although the colour was only available for the 2006 facelift model .

Ebized Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Brickyard released 2003 in the US Interlagos Fire released 2006 in the US Both colours can look almost brown in shade - Interlagos here: Quote

JetSet Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Some more info, The Type G was a limited edition JDM car with 19 inch rear wheels and in Japan the colour was called Premium Mystique Maroon. According to an old brochure I found The Type G was available in 4 colours, the other 3 being Silver, Black and Grey. Apparently there are just 2 of these in the country and both were owned by forum members who sold them on in 2009. Their whereabouts today is unknown. Interesting that one was spotted in a docks area, maybe another one being imported? Pete Quote
