WTB: 620 or 660 in Desert Gold

Post by kyle barton »

Hi guys!
first time poster here. I'm actively looking to find and purchase a 620 or 660 dressed in Desert Gold. My understanding is that these were only made in 2001, but am not 100% of that.
I've looked everywhere, so i thought i would go to the source :)

if anyone has any tips, please let me know
thanks as always

Welcome Kyle, good luck!

To clarify, these were only available for order in 2001, but there are 2002 examples as well (since the orders took longer than the 2001 calendar year to fulfill).

I've seen a 620 DG for sale in recent years, so they do exist.

Welcome to the RRF, Kyle. Good luck with your hunt.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Somehow, they do exist, which is odd because I thought BT was gone as an option around 2000.

Indeed it is awesome!

Here's my 2002 build-year 620-6 DG BH BT, first shown on the RRF on 18th July 2012, and still in my collection. Where have the last nine years gone?
