Saw three Sonic Blue scoobys in the space of 5 mins.

Nipped to the Supermarket in Mickleover, Derby.

On way past shopping precinct saw one reversing.

I then head towards the A516 Etwall Bypass, one turning out the Fairways housing estate.

Then on the A516 I seen another coming in the opposite direction.

I do like the colour, and if I had a scoob it would be in that colour, but how many are there out there ...?

Regds,

I would say not that many in classic shape, as it was never released in the UK as standard, only the P1 and a handful of UK spec 22b's

The majority if not P1's will be Jap imports

I suppose they may have not all been Sonic Blue, I was driving fast so they were just Blue Scooby Blurs.

Just odd to see three blue scoobys in a short space of time.

Sonic blue is the tops though, and after that the pearlescent Black.

Regds,

All depends on wether they were Classic shape or new age shape, there are a lot of new age WR Blue ones, which is very similar to Sonic Blue

There are quite a few reddish blue classics too, which was a UK colour, but AFAIK these stopped in late 98 /early 99 but still plenty of them about

Wish I could get a set like that!

Without a doubt. Them Gold wires and Polished rims are the Business.(I know their not really wires.)

And certainly when fitted to the MANTA 400.(Nicer in white though?)LOL.

An Icon ? You Bet!

Manta's in Monaco Blue are pretty rare are'nt they, whereas Sonic Blue scoobys are around every street corner.

I dreamt of having a Monaco Blue Coupe so that I could drop a 2.0 XE in it, never got round to it though. Best I could do was a Dolphin Grey Exclusive Hatch pushing out 130bhp.

Had three manta's in total, and I still miss them!

Regds,
