Anyone have a mica orange Two?

Post by twig »

Just wondering if anyone knows of any of these around still. I found this advert from way back in 2011, not long after I bought mine.

Never seen any in real life, so wondered where they were all hiding :D

I've still never seen one in the flesh, I forget if some of those rev5 colours actually sold in the uk at all.

Someone who follows me on instagram has one, but he's in japan lol

I *think* it was a Japan only colour, along with the Champagne Mica.

Sure Dale V had one. Actually, I think his was a UK one. Extremely rare colour.

If it was, it was probably some sort of special order. The colour is not in the Rev5 UK market brochure.

Mica Orange

I'm sure you're right about a special order, this was a JDM colour and would have been on a BEAMS or Turbo. A few years ago a UK breaker was selling parts from an orange mica car so there may not be any left here now,,,:((

Mad eh. To think £2100 was pretty high price for it back then. Picking up rev1/2s for less than £1000! When i was 19 (37 now) I bought a 200sx s13 for £500!!! A seen a wrecked barn find recently for £3k!! Mr2s well on the up now too. Even a good NA can be up at 4-5k!

Nice. Would be good to see some pics if you can post. I don't know how you do it but there is a guide somewhere

go to imgur.com then upload the photos there and once you've done that there is an option to get share links. Use the ones that say BBCode for forums, paste that link in the post and there you go!
