Smile Yellow T4's...

Having just purchased a 2001 Yellow S40 T4.

I was wondering just how many were made in this colour?

Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks in advance

It is hard to tell. The yellow T4's were not a limited edition, but the paint was at extra cost (I believe they were all metallic)

Cheers,

Kerry

As in T4's were metallic and the yellow was a special order?

Would be interesting [well to me anyway] to find out how many there are out there

Hi,

Sorry for my wording! I meant not all T4's were metallic, and the yellow was a more expensive paint option from new as it is metallic! This makes the yellow rarer than some of the other colours.

Cheers

Very nice looking T4 you have there! I have seen quite a few yellow ones which were metallic, but never one that is non metallic. It looks very similar to the 850 T-5R yellow.
