If 45, then 6th form would be 1991/2 & 92/3 (or 1992/3 & 93/4 if born after September)
So you had the Clockwork in Upper 6th (or year 13 as they call it now)
Kilauea in metallic dark-ish green? Year? Maybe 1993?

Thank fudge for ancient Hotmail records - found my CV - at 6th form 92 – mid 94. I've always struggled with 'years', then House music and the 'happy accoutrements' came along....!
It got pinched whilst at 6th form - I even saw the thief or their
mate on it once and followed him before I got too scared TBH - I was proper skinny. What with him telling me fudge off before I smack you etc..
Before that I had a black Clockwork (first mountain bike, maybe at 16 (?), sold in the local paper), a silver/blue fade Clockwork (snapped at the rear dropout), then this Kilauea (I think). Then again, we complained to Orange and I think they gave us a great warranty deal I assume due to the broken dropout on a new P7 (silver with both V-brake and disc mounts) that's my daily rider today....I dunno....!
There's a time-line there for sure, but that Kilauea was a luscious olive metallic green...and was pre Sept-1994...
What year is my P7 with both V-brake and disc mounts though?

Re:
Your description of the Oranges would suggest 1991/2 for the black one (the LX spec was £550 from memory), silver/blue (or champagne/aqua if you're a nerd ) would be 1993/4 then a disc and V p7 late 90's.

Ha! I was just a tiny bit too young for raving! Only the cool lads at 6th form had cars and could drive to them...I was not cool....but liked mountain bikes...aah, that foam Specialized helmet with a white and red lycra cover.....got me a few 'w@nker' hand signals from 6th-formers in their cars..
91/2 black Clockwork it was, sold it, got a Kilauea maybe 93/4 (in metallic olive I swear!!), had it no time then it got nicked, went back to Orange with the champagne/ aqua Clockwork which snapped it's dropout in Acton west London and had to walk it back to Shepherds Bush so this was well after Uni so rode that bike for quite some time, got a sort of warranty deal through Orange on the 'crossover' P7 in the latter part of the 90's. Reminiscences complete....apart form a real-life picture of a Kilauea of that year in 'that' colour!
Cheers!

Re:
This has just popped-up on Ebay - my Kilauea was the same green! Ah, the memories...I wasn't going mad....it wasn't only the Explosif that came in such a green.

Re:
Yes indeed, the 1991 Cinder Cone is listed in the Catalogue as Cinder Gold or Black. However, I do have several pictures of the 1991 Cinder Cone in the Dark Green as seen on the e-Bay listing - see examples below; the last picture displays this Dark Green colour the best:
