Nope, but i have a yellow bug. So i had to say yellow.

2001 Brava would have the newer code system I think so no need for a red key if so.

Dave's right about the key thing, all Bravo/as have two blue and one red key 
the very dark black blue sounds like ink black to me, exactly the same as Wimmy's. changes colour in the light and makes the car look superb.
sounds a great buy, wish you many happy miles of motoring with her. the 1.2 is a cracking lil engine, even for lots of motorway like your expecting to do, ive had my 1.2 bravo for nearly 2 years and covered 30,000 miles and the engine hasnt missed a beat. sits at 70 easily and has more get up and go throughout the gears / revs than you wouldexpect form such a small engine in a big car
enjoy

Well we pick it up in the morning around 11am. Got to tow it back though - have a static tow bar but my Grandpa's friend insists on going the motorway way
I just looked on parkers and it doesn't mention about alloys, I am expecting my grandpa made a mistake. If not, might mean I have to find some steel wheels instead due to insurance.
I am quite excited about it now It might be rubbish - you take that chance at an auction, if so, will make it road worthy and sell one without losing too much.
No idea about keys yet, I bet it only comes with one blue and that will put a downer on it! Bid was £1600 though so 'pennies' for a 4.5 year old car!
Pics to come tomorrow.

Why did I have to buy a car with the most expensive way to add some form of CD, in the world?! Grrr!

Yeah but we have a rigid tow bar
Towing it back as seems safest considering we know nothing about it, they did it with my uno Trouble is, my Grandpa sold his big old granada 2.5TD to his mate who will tow us, which is great. But he is stupidly adament about going down the M1 route as its shorter. As I will be in the towed car, I am not happy about this and will make sure they know!
Two cool tihngs tomorrow: get to drive new scenic and my new brava! (Unless I end up giving it to my sister!)

re. Alloy wheels. My escort has alloys, they were on it when I bought it. I assume they were factory fit but I've no way of knowing that. For all I know the previous owner added them.
I'm confused. If they were factory fitted, or even if they were an option specified by the original owner, surely you wouldn't tell the insurer "by the way it has alloys"? I didn't even think for one second of mentioning them to the insurers. They're not exactly a mod, I certainly didn't put them on and I don't even know if anyone else did either??
Anyway either way how can you say in one breath you might need to ditch the alloys (surely the insurance will only say "So what" anyway how much of a reduction are you expecting?), then in the next say you want to spend loads on a cd player. Keep the alloys and get a £1.99 tape converter for your cd walkman
