*The car is painted copper metallic with black roof and black scallops, but according to the
VIN plate (AUU) it should be painted vice versa. The car is repainted once, but I´m sure
it has been repainted in the same color combination it was from factory because it is copper
metallic inside the doors, trunk and floor. It must have been painted wrong from
factory, or wrong vin plate. I met Mr. Phil Skinner this summer in Västerås Sweden,
and he saw it.
