    That would of been the maroon colour (granada mica). Dug out the brochure in the garage for the series 2 & there isnt a sting red colour that was produced. I know the vx has the red. Colours for the full Vt series 2 are below...

    Heron (white)
    Orion frost (silver)
    Tungsten mica (browny/bronze)
    Tiger mica (orange)
    Granada mica (maroon)
    Tundra mica (Brown)
    Bermuda mica (blue)
    Amazon mica (blue)
    Capricorn mica (dark green)
    Cinnabar mica (lightish red)
    Phantom mica (black)


    If i got any of the colours wrong its due to the light & a few too many beers!

    Pretty sure I rememeber reading that the Olympic Torch ones were a limited run of red and no other red SSs were manufactured in the VT Series II

    Your spot on with that list, I have a Series 2 Sales Brochure as well and the attached scans are from the colour chart inside the brochure. Not to say though that maybe some of the late Series 2 VT's didn't get the VX colour
    Red Hot/Sting Red (Same colour), as a test leading into the VX.


    The colour must exist as I found this one on Carsales.... Maybe they were a test colour for the VX?

    What was the sarcasm for? That is a VX SS. Bright spark.

    OP, the 4 colours in the Series 2 VT SS anyway were Blue, Black, White and tiga.

    As minux said, its a VX SS...

    1. VT SS's never came out in Red
    2. The SS badge on the side is VX style
    3. The taillights are VX style
    4. The lower rear bumper has red light strips on either side, only ever in VX's

    nice try though haha, sarcasm noted

    there were a couple of red ones done for the olympic torch relay, though the number of them built could probably be counted on one hand.....
