01-09-04, 20:00 GMT+10#29 Mine had a few errors: 8K196GL251310 I was sold the car as being a berlina, this says otherwise, also the diff was said to be LSD, tag suggests otherwise going by the diff tag thread.
Just tried again:

04-10-04, 06:20 GMT+10#34 I suspected that something MAY have been wrong with yours.
It just didn't look untouched and remember my post about that badge on the RHS of the bootlid? Badge just not where it should have been, merely put there by someone after converting to turbo

Build date is 86 so its an 86 model
GMH considered late year models to be next years models for selling purposes
