All clean, but what colour?

[witsend]

2268My first chance to give lil blue a wash and I've a number of drinks and scratches that need touching up.
I'm assuming this is a type C beat, but does anyone know the colour? (Steve?)
B62P captiva blue pearl? Wikipedia seems to think so!

looking great though.

Nice looking car Paul. You got a gem there. Not sure what that clour is called. If I find out let you know.

Cheers folks, I've been wondering if it's the only blue one in the uk..

wikipedia: 1992.05: The Beat Version C features Captiva Blue Pearl color and alloy wheels. :) Nice car!

[TADO]

That looks stunning Paul! Congrats!

What's the VIN? I will look it up to see if it is a version C.
I wonder what happened to the white pepperpot alloys?

I wondered that myself Steve, although the 5 spokes it has are nice and easy to clean!

[Steve_M]

Thats strange!! no colour listed for your VIN. But 1031008 and 1031005 are Captiva blue pearl B62P, but yours and 1031006 have no colour against them.

I can check on another system, but I think the one im looking at probably pulls its data from that.

To be honest, I dont think ive actually seen a Version C in the flesh, have seen a few version F.

Both C and F were limited to 500 cars.

Cheers Steve, how strange! I've ordered some captiva blue touch up.
Does it mean it's number 7 of 500?

[Steve_M]

The rear spoiler will have been an accessory addition.
It should have had white "Beat" logo on the side as well as the white alloys,
otherwise the special part of the Version C was the colour and its 500 limited numbers.

Cheers Steve, how strange! I've ordered some captiva blue touch up.
Does it mean it's number 7 of 500?

No it does not look it, I can find B62P cars in VIN down as far as 10030742 and up to 10031261 (So 519 cars, if all VIN issued)

Paul, Best you be getting one of these.

There is a blue Beat in Guernsey. It was for sale in the local paper a few weeks ago but as we already have 3 and no spare space I didn't look any further.
