Yes.  Its the "Midnight Blue" that was (mainly) a US 1989 model.

Nope, that's a US 1990 paint scheme. And that price is ridiculous. That's one of those "But honey, I have it listed for sale. I can't figure out why nobody hasn't snatched it up yet."  :pardon:

It has been for sale all Spring. Maybe even last Fall too. I wasn't really interested due to price, just hadn't seen the color before.

No, the White/Silver/Red stripe was a '89 color we teasing call "theft deterrent" Actually, I recall Simi Ed came up with that term.

The other '90 option was a beautiful blue/grey/white combo. A very very nice color combo. I'll look for picts.

1989 and 1990 there were 2 color option available. The first 2 photos are '89 models and the 2nd set are '90 models.
