dsl ◊ 2015-08-03 21:39	Blue with white roof is a unique scheme for the Oct 72 Top Hat special edition based on the 1500 Super Automatic. Very short-lived with 2 main problems (1) it was automatic only which for a UK small car was a very good way of ensuring nobody would buy one unless they were at least 70 years old (2) despite its rich Electric Blue metallic paint, the white vinyl roof became a standing joke - "it's just not British" and there were birdshit issues. Corgi Vanguards made a nice model (# VA10403)
