Certainly are rare!
They were the first 'soft' VR4-style facelift that lasted 18 months or so before they were rebadged Classic for the 2.0... Equippe for the 2.4 GDI and Elegance for the 2.5 V6-24V
Hang on... Am I understanding this I have a Galant V6 Sport W Reg - Is mine one of these "Rare" cars???Quote:

The 2.0 Classic and 2.4 Equipe GDI came with the cloth seats of the Sport models as standard, but you could option leather, and had manual air con... The Elegance V6-24V had leather as standard with climate control...
What some Sports came with, what made them rare, was a sunroof and even rarer the early models had twin front driving and fog lamps - the circular design that then changed to the single light unit version of the VR4 front lights.
And Sport models were available in Black, Mauve and Silver - the later Classic, Equipe and Elegance added White to that list.
wow! that means mine is a rare one it has a sunroof and the twin front fog lamps

I think you will find that one of MY cars is the rarest, thankyou very much!! /Nuuu/pan
Beat this then, my car with factory recaro's, black momo wheel (not ugly red), facelift, mmcs, ayc, big arse sunroof. Of course now it is a manual as well which would really make it one of a kind :)
well um yeh, but the estate is even rarerQuote:

So that's my '97, P-Reg, White Legnum VR4, the Galant V6 Sport and now the Black Legnum VR4 all in a 100m Radius!!!
Mine is the one parked opposite the entrance to Mayfeild Drive, next to the Old Mill Restruant!!
If the black one was you let me know....
Be interesting to know where you go for servicing etc....
