I tired doing search but couldn't find the answer. My 2000 is a Pewter, 4-speed with bright red interior. How many in this combination ?

With a 4 speed, none. There were 17 auto and 10 six speed manual coupes produced If a vert, 9 auto and 4 six speed manual w/ black top and no auto and 2 six speed manuals w/ oak top.

It was a color option. When I ordered it (Kerbeck) the girl had to check with her boss. She came back and said OK, but if you don't take it you will lose your deposit - yeah right !
When I took delivery they admitted it looked really nice

Pretty sure the boring automatic in the C5 was a 4-speed…. Maybe that’s what the OP was referring to?

Sorry about saying a 4-speed. It is a 6-speed of course. Mine is a coupe, so 10 is the magic number. Thanks for your help.

Sorry I don't have a photo to post

I had a pewter ‘00 that came with a black interior - changed it over to mod red and loved the color combo. I think a total red interior would have looked good too.
