Ah yes, another mongoose can of worms that mate  :idiot2:
If you do a bit of searching on the site you'll find a few threads that touch on this including the legendary "what is a UK supergoose" thread/sticky basically the expert looks like it came in both all chromo and 3 main chromo at various points in it's life so I guess it depends on what year your expert was made and if it's an all chromo expert made in '83 you could do it up as a UK supergoose.......... :-X
