I´ve seen pictures of a few red GT´s before in The Netherlands, so seems original. Anyone seen one in white? :)

There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Volvo 480 ;)

Actually. i was curious, were the GTs i Europe available in any colour? I know they were red and green (basically!) here, but as someone mentioned here they saw one in flat red, and someone emailed me about one of my ebay items saying they had a paris blue 1995 GT...

I've seen a normal red GT here the UK. I think officially they were just Green and Flame Red but whether the dealers did special orders, I don't know.

I know the UK GTs were only green and red, and we had that o so special interior (;)) but European GTs only had a plain leather interior, so wondered if they also had the standard colours as well??

The normal red GT I saw here in the UK also had the crazy squares interior and the Vesas.
