Wish they had taken the time to find a completely standard car though Title: Re: This weeks Autocar Post by: fensaddler on 03 July, 2010, 08:28:46 PM People with standard Evo2s tend to be wise enough not to let journos near them!!
Title: Re: This weeks Autocar Post by: SteveGales on 08 July, 2010, 06:50:19 PM Matt Saunders who 'interviewed' me on the phone a few weeks back did ask if I was interested but I said I'd think about it ! Never heard
anything else but would probably have declined after reading some of their road tests! I agree Andy not the best example picked, the suspension looked incredibly low which would have made the ride worse.Looked like a Japanese spec car with the earlier headlamp set up, never understood why these were fitted unless it was to meet some headlamp regulation ? Perhaps Paul (038tipo) could shed some light? No pun intended! Steve Title: Re: This weeks Autocar Post by: sparehead3 on 08 July, 2010, 08:14:13 PM There is a whole bunch (that's what it looks like) of import cars being sold from this place : http://www.motocars.co.uk and that one is probably one of them. It's been asked on about them on evoforum a few months back.
I don't know the answer about the lights either, the side indicators are different too (square and lower down). Title: Re: This weeks Autocar Post by: 038tipo on 09 July, 2010, 12:20:31 PM If lights and indicators are as described then it will be a Japanese spec car.

Yes it was a Japanese spec car. Do you know if the headlights/ indicators were purely a styling issue requested for that market or were they fitted to meet local regulations ? I know some special editions/colours were requested for certain markets such as the first run of yellow cars (evo 1) which were for the German market I seem to remember. regards Steve Title: Re: This weeks Autocar Post by: 038tipo on 14 July, 2010, 08:11:43 AM Hi Steve.
I think it was a requirement rather than a cosmetic choice. The original 400 yellow evo 1s were for Italy as the first two were used by Ravanelli and Baggio to arrive at home games in a Lancia (part of their deal), and a different colour comination was thought of, Ferrari Yellow with black leather. The limited edition yellow cars which were present in Germany were the Holzer editions. Cheers, Paul. |
