I thought this, the rarest of Coupés deserved a thread of it's own. I've been the first to take the mickey in past of this 'unpainted' colour, however I assure you it's only tongue in cheek! The same goes for any colour really, I don't dislike any. I'm glad the car came in such vibrant, varied colous, Oh apart from that John Major Steel Grey (see, even my own car's colour isn't sacred ) I've trawled the forum and came up with about ten pictures of Chrono Grey LE's, which simply isn't enough. Lets have more please! And lets hear from some Chrono Owners. How many do we think there are still in the UK? What's it like 'in the flesh'? I'll be honest, I've never seen one apart from on the forum Is it true that once you've seen one, you believe in Unicorns? I'll start off with some great pictures courtesy of Chaser from this thread. It looks like he sold up in 2007. So come on, get yer pics out for the lads! (and Theresa)
Coopless!

I've seen one at Brooklands and it really does look like it's just primered and not painted. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it looks nice.
Maybe no one's got one BECAUSE it looks crap. Lol

Here's some rare pics of a Chrono LE with slashes painted red too. I can't remember if they were an optional extra at the time when we last discussed the Chrono. Baz This was done by the owner at the time - remember reading about it - seems to work on that colour!
Coupe now sold!

It's a nice colour, very rare - but still a shade of grey......so on that point for me it's a fail

Looks to me as though they had a bit of Porto and Silver left so they mixed them together. This is why they only had enough paint for four of them. Shame it never came out a bit more Porto. If I bought one this colour the wife would ask me when it was getting painted.

I have a front bumper of a chrono grey LE that went under the scrappage scheme. The colour does nothing for me.
It may end up repainted yellow on my car.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Not a huge fan of the colour. Shame 0001 is now owned by a complete prat.

Don't like the colour at all I'm afraid, the red slashes do it no favours either......

evo-number-one is the one seen at BrooKlands. T, didn't you see one here too? I'm sure it was in the front row next to mine in 2011, or was that 2010 Was next to you 2010, but she's been present in the FCCUK area at Autoitalia Brooklands for the past 4 years..... 2008 2009 2010 2011 When I purchased my crono, opinion was that there were 6 in UK and Ireland. According to the communication I also had a few years ago with the chap who maintained the " LE-Liste " register, he believed there were originally less than 15 worldwide - and a few of those had since been written-off. None of the various market LE brochures that I have seen have any photos of coupes in that colour or any swatches on the available range. Last identified UK count on the LE Register on this forum is 8 9 (although not all owners accounted for): LE0083 Crono – owner unknown LE0091 Crono – owner unknown LE0091 Crono - LE Man (Ireland) - formerly owned by all-couped-up LE0105 Crono - evo_number_one - 41k @Feb 2011 (S plate) LE0106 Crono – Aames -115k @Feb 2011 (S plate) LE0132 Crono – Che (T plate) LE0148 Crono – owner unknown LE0149 Crono – owner unknown LE1150 Crono – chaser A few photos of LE0105 that I have to hand... ...and one of my favourite crono related snaps....

I must have seen yours then evo, especially as it was at the front. I really don't remember Did I speak to you? In a way, I hope not, as I'll feel even worse if I can't remember that either So, seems as though I've seen two Chrono's previously then, not just the one in Blackpool.
