I get this info from this article which aint mine its a repro. from this but yeah.....the 1987 SE Mera intact, will be low numbers for sure. I don't have a VIN list but this is cool Mera Jive Talkin again. I got Mera #7020 as an SE too. so that's 4 plus #6001. nice and cozy. PS all the cars in them photos are 1987 Mera so I think one of your cars could be that SE in the photos. that RPO Translation would tell what base color your Orginial Fiero was before the conversion. mine was black. fun fun

yeah.........lets start with this and a mention of Mera #7004 in Sweden was owned by JanR here on the PFF. I think I saw it for sale or something, not sure if it is still as it was a year or so ago. but yeah according to this article "SE" Mera were "special order" for some reason in 1987 its cool to know. the Proto-Type #6001 is a SE base as well.

the cool thing I found unique in the SE Mera is the rounded aluminum blank off trunk panels as opposed to the GT square plastic blanks of the 1988 versions. I have photo confirmed my and #6001 to be exact matches but I only know of 5 SE Mera now with this recent addition

Rodney has a list of 50 or so 1987 Mera that if he has the full VIN we could track down some more numbers, but alas......he don't come around sooo much. still fun to speculate, eh?

nope sorry I got no color prints of "In-Production" shots. I wish
this was taken off Ebay from a sales ad auctioning off the actual photo or a reproduction of one.




now the alum......blankoffs are what make our trunks round instead of square like the GT version of the Fiero.

the following are pics of the 1986 Prototype #6001.
under the black (mine is like snake skin kinda) is alum sheet metal pretty thick to bump out the trunk area.
the GT Mera have the plastic square off that are stock to the Fiero.....I believe these rounded pieces are signature to the SE Mera and the 87 SE Mera only because the SE was not offered in 1988 for the New converts that's awesome if true to us 87 SE Mera owners.



the underside with the same pop riveted fasteners.......
