Cabs and Tourings were produced till '93 although saloon production stopped in 1990. Don't know why though....

Got the car last Friday, it is a bit lumpy on startup so I'm going to do the ICV and maybe the fuel filter because the previous owner had run out of fuel recently???
I have read here somewhere someone asking about stainless exhaust, well this has one with CAT, it is a little growly!! but I like it that way.
It has grey leather but I may change it later to tan if I can find it cheap enough.

It all depends how long they sat in the showrooms for, and passed around dealers before they are sold and registered
