	Fiat made some awesome designer sportswear models, the Fila Uno was always up there on my want list. The LaCoste 205's always caught my eye too. Fiat are still at it now. Anybody seen a new 500 Gucci edition? The car that says 'Hello, I drive a tart's handbag'.

	Mar 14, 2016 0:45:04 GMT highvoltage said: Those Harriers didn't look too bad really,i think they were a Scotland only dealer special edition. The Mk2 Harriers looked great,they were a 1600 Sport with some 4 spoke alloys,graphics and some trim bits from memory,definitely one of the better specials though. There were 3 Mk2 specials all named after birds,the Harrier,the Goldcrest and the Linnet,i had a Linnet for a while until it caught fire while i was driving it in the middle of York ! There was the Capri Cabaret,Cortina Carousel and Crusader and the Fiesta Firefly as well. Ford also brought back the 1600E model for a special run of Orions built by Tickford. Don't forget the Sapphire 2000E, my neighbour had one for years.

	Special editions? How many do you want? Land Rover did dozens with Range Rover, look... www.wods.dk/rangerover/hi/limited/r-limi.htm Many of the P38 models were NAS only, so the UK never saw them.The things they did to flog 'em. There's a couple of others, like the Linley, that don't seem to be listed as well. Another one I like, mainly 'cos I owned one... LeCar

	Plenty of this still goes on now, although a lot of it is boring and often used on higher-end cars for some reason. Current popular ones with most manufacturers are either "Black Edition" (Porsche, Mercedes, almost everyone) or "Carbon Edition" (Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, MINI, Mercedes, etc.) and a few clothing brand tie-ins (Fiat 500).

	My 90s memory is hazy to say the least but i'm sure there was a Nissan micra DOT much to our amusement as a micra dot was something else entirely.

	Ford absolutely disgraced themselves with the later model 'Mexico',I didnt know theyd done a Harrier as well.Christ. I seem to remember the Metro Advantage as well,usually metallic green with white alloys. Also don't forget the UK market Toyota Celicas,Carlos Sainz model GT4's, the 205 GT4 WRC models, Celica 25th anniversary models,and the Gen6 SR which was available with momo alloys and only in black or silver during the 90's.The US and JDM markets had a few weird ones,or ones under different names and slightly different spec,the Group A Rallye,the RC, amongst others.

	Mar 13, 2016 23:59:02 GMT Ratchet said: Escort eclipse wasn't it? were mostly 1.3's iirc, friend of mine had one at one point, there may have been a metallic blue version too, ca'nt remember if it was called something else though The Eclipse was the version of the Escort Ford produced to get the Mk4 out of the door when the Mk5 was about to be introduced... I remember that Vauxhall did a few tasty special editions of the Cavalier and Carlton called the Diplomat that had leather interior trim and special alloys and they also did the Astra GTE 'Connolly Edition' which was a GTE with a connolly leather interior funnily enough... Then we had the superbly 'of its era' Ford Escort XR3i 'All White' Convertible (with a white leather interior!) which I remember fondly as a neighbour of ours had one back in the day and I thought it looked tip-top!!!
