It was the fashion in the 70’s and early 80’s for car manufacturers to introduce these “special” limited edition models to bolster sales. They may be rare but imo rare doesn’t translate into added value in these cases, reason being they mainly only incorporated basic cosmetic changes to the stock model such as stripes, upholstery, different colored body or wheels, so nothing performance related that would appeal to enthusiasts, simply eye catching changes to attract other buyers.

I wonder how many of the 2000 US Martini cars had both AC and a sunroof.
