I was talking about the 'battleship grey' one  ....If you do a vehicle enquiry & type in it's number plate 'M435 XEV' HERE, it states that the colour should be black

Well sleuthed Jonny, and if you look at the pic showing the underside of the bonnet it's black, shouldn't the underside be the same colour as the body?
Also, no pics of door jams etc where original colour would show.

hi there
it's a 1/1995 nantucket grey car. inside the bonnent on dark coloured cars is always black. on light cars it's cream.
it may have been one of the cars that alan? something was trying to shift for years on autotrader. remember there was at least 2 of them for silly money.
still think we would have heard about it before now, though.

the 2.9 12v was dropped early 1997 and replaced by the 2.9 24v cossie.so its either a pre-facelift one with the facelift lights,rear light cluster etc retro fitted or a new engine fitted to the car,or it might even be one that got through the net between the engine changeover and the registering of the car.but i think its just that the owner has made a mess of posting.mine is a 1997 pre-facelift ultima registered 1998
im so confused even writing this 
p.s. i think it has rear parking sensors which were a cost option from 1996

I think the engine size is a typo It looks like a face lift . but I will check.
Yes it has to be a typo its a 2/98 build cosworth so it will be a genuine facelift , according to the info I have .
