Default Arden Green

Here is a question for all you 75 anaracks.
I was reading the first brochure for the 75 tourer published in 2001, and it is shown that the colour Arden Green was available.
I always thought that Arden Green was a Cowley colour and not used at Longbridge.
I am shure all tourers were built at Longbridge.
Were any tourers finished in Arden Green and if so has anyone seen, or got one?

As questions go, that's an Arden to answer

I'm sure I saw an Arden Green tourer advertised for sale a few weeks ago, but I may be mistaken.

Arden Green was a colour I considered when I ordered mine, but as I'm a tight g*t I stuck with Midnight Blue because the Arden Green was extra.

Oh yes that's right, I remember now - the reason I didn't have mine in Arden Green wasn't because I'm a tight g*t it was because of the ordering delay
