Nope, just you.

[Baz 421]

Yeah, they're pretty rare mate, you're a lucky boy.

 

Those very few special limited editions!

[SorrentoED 0]

yeah well chuffed when it came up for sale locally, snapped it up straight away.

yeah it would be good to know how many there are, wasn't it 300 1.6's and 300 1.9's in sorrento green originally?

[dcc 855]

I know of one

[Batfink 201]

:blink:

 

The special editions are reasonably rare but it was an optional paint code on the later models....

[collis 0]

no i think its just 150 1.6 and 150 1.9 so just 300 all together. were lucky to have them

Thats the correct figure of limited editions but as Batfink pointed out the colour became an option after that.

[monkee87 2]

I've got one. 1991 on a J plate.

[SorrentoED 0]

the orignal paint code for the limited edition sorrento greens was MORM, and the colour code for the later ones was M4RM.

Looks like you are one of the lucky few mate

 

p.s Don't let them pesky Gentry's think they are in your exclusive club either

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Loads, I know of at least 30 of the pukka Ltd ed's and even more std models

[Richie 32]

Not as rare as Lazer green. But still, lovely colour

I'm not so sure about that. I see far more Laser green 205's than i do Sorrentos.

[Para 82 2 Cars]

This is the most beautiful Sorrento Green I've ever seen.

 

As someone said before , Sorrento colour was optional in later models but I don't know if the interiour too. Sorrento models has gray carpets, door cards and green insides of the leather seats with green stiches.

Damn! I was going to show mine off but now I won't bother

Mine's a K plate, it was a 1.6 originally.

Do we actually know what the number of Ltd editions was? The Dave Thornton book "Sporting Peugeot 205s" says it was 300 of each, Wikipedia used to say 150 of each but I believe it now says 300.

 

Anyone done any research?

[djc 0]

I thought it was 300 of each 1.6 & 1.9, I maybe wrong though...

[Baz 421]

We were joking ffs!

 

They became an optional colour the same as Miami blue did after the ever so rare 'special editions' that every single bloody one seems to be.

 

They're common as muck, and they look black. The same thing is discussed every 6months, booooring!

300 green, 300 blue. 150 of each, 1.6 and 1.9, all built in '89, so on G and H reg's, all Ph1.5's. Grey interior and carpets, full grey leather seats.

I have one, and I think it looks rather lush.

 

what was the one with green trim and green carpets?

[Batfink 201]

I'm sure my sorrento 205 has green carpet but its been a long time since I looked inside...

Griffe? Although they had chrome trim like a Gentry iirc.

That's because it's not an LE iirc.
