Thanks Mallard

Hi Conmaster,

I can only suppose that the asc+t was dealer fitted instead of factory. or that somone had a realy heavy weekend and you car was first in line monday morning.....

As for smokers pack, its basically an ashtray and a 12v plug with a lighter.

Cars without the smokers pack will have a "storage" tray and a plastic bung to cover the 12v outlet, which is included regardles of spec

Mr Monroe

The 2 rubber grommets are covers for what should be fitted.. Headlamp washers.

Its most likely the bumper is either retrofitted, or the headlamp washers have been removed.

Millpoint is a fabric / leather combination

Cheers Mallard!
Nothing exciting there for me, was hoping there might have been some gold bullion hidden under the rear seats!
Cheers
Dylan

[rahyre]

Thanks much, I sure appreciate the help with the options list on the car!!

[greenmeanie]

Many Thanks Mallard, I thought it was my birthday when i found it two years ago with
21600 mils only. It was almost like new, i have since put another 20000 miles on it and hope it will last me for many years. I am now enjoying driving again, something i havent done for many years!!

[susteve]
