Thanks for that.

I did look at this but I think there was a model upgrade in 1992 and the later ones are better than the earlier ones. This is all heresay however and I'm happy to be put straight.

Well you're right that there was a few changes made, the later model had larger brake discs and calipers, certainly on the front, hence the change from 15" to 16" wheels.

Others may be able to give you more details on engine/gearbox changes.

The interior will likely have been changed too, but I don't think any of this should put you off the earlier model, especially if it does turn out to be in seriously good condition.
JMHO

I think Stuarts red one is a 91 and he's been very pleased with it. Also Langy's is a 91 auto and he's been all over in his. The brakes are ok on the early ones until you start loading it up and then can easily be upgraded.
It seems to have been sold now.
