Found this ad on carandclassic for a converted 4speed, 2.8i auto, for £15k.
The rare colour combo caught my eye and the low mileage, not sure it has the right stripes, can't rely on photos but worth a look!

Hi,
It looks like a nice car. I think the paint is imperial red.
Andrew.

Re: Red over silver 2.8i auto
It looks right. It has the Carla trim which would have still been available in early 1983. Very low mileage, wonder where it has been hiding all these years.

Re: Red over silver 2.8i auto
The only niggling doubt I have is that brochures I've seen don't list red over silver as a paint option for the 2.8, I wonder if it was a factory special order?Not_Anumber wrote:It looks right.
Apart from that, it does look great, although I'd prefer to see it back as a 4 speed.
