SERIOUS prod, not a limited build (and tacky looking IMO) fastback thing.

"EDIT" Sorry just checked link, it does look better than the one I saw for sale in Japan a year or so ago but still not what I getting at.

One FS in Japan might have been the NA Coupe (as opposed to the NB Coupe) - also few in number - less than the NB from memory.

Hey Paul, No it was an NB, can't remember where I saw it, remember it was approx 35-40,000 aus $, you'd really have to have wanted it.
I've seen pics of a (I think) factory built yellow NA which looked quite good but I'm sure i've seen a pic of a standard NA that had the hardtop integrated
into the body work and that looked really good (sort of like an Elan coupe)

Yeah, that factory NA Coupe in yellow looks good, & the otherwise standard NA with the hardtop integrated into the body rings a bell.

^ That would be Stu.


Also, just about every morning I see a Red NA (cant see driver, car stock) heading down Alma Road, St Kilda.

I also often see a White NA (lady driver) with a rollbar, and a silver sunshade attached to the visors heading down as well.

Spotted a Red NB this morning, dropped, fat tyres, roll bar, rear lip spoiler, looked mean coming in the opposite direction.
Was on Burke Rd in Heidelberg/Ivanhoe around 10am. I got caught off guard or would have flashed the pop ups.
