Obviously I am not making myself clear. The Monaco was a UK only car. Never existed anywhere else. It is not a factory special edition. It one step up from what was called a dealer special, maybe call it an importer special. Just a way for MCL to shift more metal with more markup.
What left the factory in Japan in 1996 was a 1.6i, in green, with a black cloth interior. MCL (in Sheerness?) then added wheels and stickers, and called it a Monaco.
