How rare is a Mk1 gs sport in red

[maveric]

 You'd hardly ever see a mk1 sport come up for sale but recently there's a few, but all in not very desirable colours in my opinion.

For me the best looking modern classic out there.

Anyone know of production numbers for different colours?

I've noticed one or two recently. There was a lovely silver one in the Bradford area that looked mint but premium money.

Yeah seen a few silver and blue. Wasn't that red one you saw a non sport?

 

I have my eye on these like a hawk

The numbers registered by colour are available on this site;

https://carcolours.co.uk/search/vehicle/GS300_SPORT_AUTO/

Appears there were 28 red ones?

Really useful for reference when looking for relatively rare models.

I can only assume that list is not all that in-depth. According to the years, they are only showing one MK1 in red.

It was a bit of a lottery on the registration document for the mk1 Sports, as there was technically no such thing, them being “modified” by the dealers once on uk soil. I think it just depended what the dealer put on when they registered them, so many only had GS300 on the document.

Mine was a red one, and do get quite tempted by a mk1 even now. I’ve still got a set of MK1 sport wheels in the garage, with the 10” rears, so I could take a non-sport and lower it with my own set of wheels if temptation got the better of me.

I'm not too sure of the accuracy of that site. If the temptation does get the better of you, I'll be letting go of mine soon.
