I'm not sure if anyone knows but I wanted to find out roughly how many preface lift motorsport cabriolets were still on the road. I have a 1988 Macau one but am sure there wasn't that many made that year ?

Sebring grey were pre facelift but with a factory fit tech2 kit.

Macau motor sport cabrios were made in first three of the batches,

First ones with metal bumpers and chrome window trim, grey leather with M stripe badges
second ones with metal bumpers and shadow line trim, grey leather with M stripe leather (also in Nagaro silver)
Third ones with grey bubble leather and tech 2 kit (also in Sebring grey with black bubble leather)

Forth batch were face lift with tech 2 kit and Lotus white leather (calypso red or Mauritius blue)

When you say about the stripes on the seats you mean the badges in the centre or strips within the leather ?

When i say stripes i mean the leather strips that are in the M colours.

The second batch (Macau or Nagaro) had this type, the first batch (Macau only) had the M stripe badges in the centre of the seat.
