Ahemm... IIRC, non-US T3's got 'em a little earlier and a year later
than we did. Besides you bought build-to-order there. They don't stock
ready to drive out vehicles like the US dealers. You places your order
and select options (including color). Then come back a few weeks later
with your new ride. At least that is how VW did it when I was looking
to buy back in the mid-80's. I don't imagine they would have changed
that practice by much.

The exception might be the LLE's (Last Limited Edition?) which came in
red, white, and blue and those Magnum Dokas.
