      Would someone be able to translate the text for the rest of us. Interested to see what other countries thought of the car back in the day.

                  Anybody else noticed the Porsche script on the rear reflector tub? Haven't seen it before, was it something special on early RS2's or did somebody dear to modify the brand new supercar back in 93?

                    It says "Powered by Porsche", it must have been a pre-production thing. The other prototype thing I noticed, have you ever looked on the front of the Drivers Handbook? The grille trim in the bonnet is colour coded. On the cars it's black.

                      If you look at that rear photo again, you will notice that the RS2 badge isn't the production one either

                        Nope it looks like a sticker, just like the "powered by PORSCHE" on the inlet manifold.

                          Hmm...I might be wrong. As for the "powered by PORSCHE", they supposed to have that. Doesn't your's?

                            Nope on the proto types, it was a aluminium plate glued to the inlet manifold, but on the production model, it was molded in to.

                              You're right. I forgot that the production manifolds were different.

                              Check your PMs. I was planning to use PayPal to send you the funds. To do this, I need your email address.
