that's a good point

Taken from wiki

The special rally edition of 5000 units was known as the GT-Four RC was launched in September 1991 in Japan. The export version is known as Carlos Sainz (CS) Limited Edition in Europe (in honour of their famous WRC driver), or Group A Rallye in Australia. Special features include:

  • a water-to-air intercooler instead of the standard air-to-air unit, which was much better suited for competition use.
  • different hood used to evacuate air from the engine bay rather than direct it to the intercooler (along with a small inlet duct for cambelt cooling).
  • different bumper that is much lighter and has more openings than the standard one.
  • shortened shift lever throw and clutch pedal travel.
  • triple cone synchromesh on gears 2 and 3, up from double cone.
  • a special numbered plaque on the center console.

Out of 5000 units, 1800 were for Japanese market, 3000 were allocated to Europe, 150 were delivered to Australia, 25 for Singapore, and very few made a trip to New Zealand and general markets.

 

Is that what is meant as ex carlos sainz wrc? or is it the actual wrc carlos sainz drove. might explain the rh drive. none the less very cool

Yeah Niall's a good man. He's been doing my stuff for years and always looks after bike guys.

 

You could be right Gordon, he has a strong dutch ( I think) accent so maybe I misunderstood his meaning.

Nevertheless, its a tough bit of gear.

And Lennox is right, the owner is Bert. I'd met him before when I used to go on the PSB bike forum.
