wonder which wheel trims he's talking about having painted I think this may have been from north coast of nsw previously and I recall some discussion about it on here or via email with a few people a call and pics of id plates would help

Looks to have been repainted (at least) at the rear at least anyway. No black paint out behind the tail lights and the boot badges have been moved. I'd also be very wary of the clock dash. I've seen a couple of turbo's with the clock dash as an original fit (confirmed by build sheets) BUT they're an extreme rarity and more than likely a swap.

It's a shame the red sl is not a factory turbo. Would really consider buying, maybe still if it were cheaper.

its nothing special for 13k...anyone can take their original sl turbo back to factory spec like this to make it look "unmolested" ..and even if those k's are genuine, still not worth 13k

What is that red one supposed to be? Badge says SL, add says Executive, looks like Berlina!

interior would say exec or sl, he's just put berlina taillights and pinstripe on.

Can anyone vouch for the build quality of the red sl. Seriously considering having a look. Would be much appreciated.

Those are the first things I noticed too. Thought hmmm, the badge placement isnt right (supposed to read "Executive TURBO" and not "TURBO Executive") And the clock dash I thought was unusual. Usually the Turbo's have a tacho dash. Was going to post earlier about the clock dash. But couldnt be 100% certain because its auto and I thought well yeah, they (from factory) could've put a clock dash in an auto turbo Executive.

It came to the cruise once, car is nice. The not genuine part though is kinda a killer for me.
