The "flight" was basically a 14TE (no power steering, electric windows) etc, I think they came with metallic (silver only) old style Mk2 RD/RE wheel trims and maybe a pop up sunroof and radio casette, flight decals and side stripe. Think I may have a brochure somewhere.

So about the same as a St Tropez but with the older spec trims.Did they get black round the windows like a Preview ?

IIRC there were no blacked out bits. Window surrounds and sills were silver. I too have a brochure somewhere but not at this address!

I love flicking through brochures in an evening when the Missus is watching some total shite like X factor.Ive even started buying French ones to to look at the differing specifications although i cant read the text.How sad is that?

I think the Missus would be happier if i were reading "naughty Magazines" instead of been a "freak" (her words) and reading car brochures nearly as old as her.My Mk1 brochures are only 2 years younger than her,plus the bodywork has stood the test of time better on the Bx!lol.

You could always slip the brochures inside the cover of Penthouse?
