2000 4/4 4 seater
Just put a deposit down on this ugly duckling. Must say the 4 seater look has grown on me from not being a fan. Collect start of next month and get my nolden led lights and bits fitted.

Picking up the pieces...........
Geneva 2006 had the 4 Seater Roadster with those huge wires which didn't make it into production. That was the re-introduction of the 4 seater. The Plus 4 followed, but I suspect that 4/4 4 seaters were not built? This model doesn't show in the 2015 price list.
Before this it would make sense that the 4 seaters were built until 1996, which was just before the 1997 long door/stainless bulkhead/superform wings upgrade. I suspect that this was when the factory concentrated on redesigning the two seater body. So if the separate rear seats emerged in 1999, then the interior was redesigned before the exterior, and so it then looks like this model was only produced 1999 to 2003, maybe 4/4 and Plus4?
Remember that in 2000 the factory would be working on the Aero 8, and in 2003 they were working on the Roadster. The 4 seater would have been behind these on the list of priorities.
This is exactly the problem with trying to establish what actually happened! Only 4/4 4 seaters were made from 1999-2003 First with the silver top 1.8 Zetec then the black top in 2001 There were no other engine variants during this time There were no 4/4 4 seaters after 2003 and no 4 seaters in between 2003 and 2006 Only Roadsters and Plus 4 4 seaters from 2006 from then on ending last year

Just to follow on from the above post
Just checked the records and Charles Morgan revealed the new look 4 seater with the extended back and Simmonds looking hood as it was when it ended last year, in September 2005
It was Matthew Humphries that redesigned the back end extending the boot and having the rear sidescreens curved
The earliest ones of this type though that I've seen were registered in 2006

Nearly finished Graham, but it's like finding nits in a thick head of hair. There's always just one more detail to add.
And just try finding the engine specs for the Super Sport, Baby Doll and ARP4.
