Hi,

I've been on Def2.net for a few years but I've recently acquired a 2001 Bordeaux, 4.0. I know they aren't to everyone's taste but I've always liked them. This one has done 55k and seems to run fine, no warning messages / HEVAC book symbols etc. There are a few bits of bodywork to tidy up - she had side steps at some point which have rubbed the sills, the inside on the lower tailgate lip is in need of tlc and the front bumper has a small crack in. The wheels also need a refurb.

One thing I can't seem to find out is what colour the grille was originally. As per the pic it is now a faded grey colour. If anyone knows that would be ace

Thanks,

Got me all excited as Bordeaux is where I'm sitting right now

Nice car though

That looks like Rioja Red to me.
I had. P38 2.5 DT in the same colour.

Hi Mike,

It is the grille colour I'm after. Was it black originally and has faded to this grey colour or was it a darker shade of grey?

Images on t'internet don't seem to help!

Thanks,

Firstly, I must correct myself.
It is Alverston Red if it is a limited edition Bordeaux.
How do I know?

I have just dug out of my catalogue collection the original brochure.

You are welcome to it if you would like it.
Just PM me your address and I will stick it in the post.

Wow thank you, PM on the way!

Very nice of you that Mike. Priceless addition to its portfolio I would have thought.

They did some cool Ltd edition p38's

I remember a petrol green one being one of the last just before the l322 was launched.

Hey 362bkr that looks fab! Here is another pic:
