    Look at your chassis plate, ignore SARRS, look at the next four WWVG or WLVG, its the VG that will denote 200ps Sport and if its a Lux it will have full leather interior, not Recaros. Just noticed its a 96 but let me know the chassis number as it might be a late registered 1995 model. If it is past chassis number 230966 then they were all 200ps, the sport tag was dropped and so was the Lux.

      Built in October 1995, so pre face lift and a Vitesse Sport but not a lux, unless someone changed the leather for Recaros over the years. Stranger things have happened, looks like someone has colour coded the bumpers and side door trims at some time.

      This is how your model year should look steveo but it is down to personal choice preference. Personally I like my cars original.

        apart from the `sterling` type leather instead of recaros ....
        what other differences is there in a `lux` model ?

        personally I like the colour coding :)

        If you can see the red vitesse in my signature picture below, that was a p reg model that had the colour coding. There might have been some crossovers. This one had post 96 features, yet did not have Aircon. Glad to hear you are enjoying the car.

        Pre 1996 model cars differed in that they did not have signature wood trim, had black top bumpers and door mouldings also the alarm went from RF to IR. Obviously cars that were made Pre 96 could have been sold and registered after the new model year was released but I doubt that would have happened the other way round.

        Also As we all know many people wanted to update their old model to the 96 variant so colour coded exterior parts and interior wood but for sure the alarm system will tell which it was originally

          Do you have a Valeo or Lucas plipper? Valeo = facelift RF. Lucas = Pre '96 IR.

          I think...
