'Zerolene' was the 2nd livery and was released in 1982. The total production run worldwide was only 35,000. This limited availability had two immediate consequences - firstly, very high prices were obtained by both retailers and collectors alike and secondly, large quantities of the model were stock piles for the future. A small run was produced for no apparent reason with the baseplates painted in matt black. It still belongs to the more expensive models.
