ok Guys
I'm 99% sure that you are looking at THE ONLY KNOWN '93 Radar Blue Typhoon.
By way of research and a few phone calls...even going back to notes from years ago....looks as though we've stumbled across a rarity.
For a little background, PWA (Pontiac West Assembly) developed 6 new color combinations for the 1993/1994 Production year. They were:
Radar Blue
Raspberry
Bahama Blue
Light French Blue
Ultra Silver
Teal
GM did indeed factory paint some Typhoons the Radar Blue color as well as the Raspberry color. It is unknown at this time if the other 4 colors made it onto Typhoons.
Since the colors were pre-production colors, a special code was built into the RPO sheet on each truck.
I have heard firm rumors (resourceful individuals) that Bahama Blue and Teal made it to Typhoons, but no hard evidence yet. BTW, the Teal would be different from those found on the 92 Sonoma GT and Typhoon. From what I hear, the Bahama Blue is a KNOCK-OUT color combo.
Quite possibly this Typhoon was part of some kind of an autoshow as it was built 4-16-1993 and has a high VIN [ 2181/2200 ]
How it landed in the U.K. is beyond me.
Hopefully Adam, you can track down this owner again and get some greasy details.

Merk
