dsl ◊ 2025-06-08 21:20	Oct 87+ (X180) facelift by Trevor Stevens which became the HC phase for both the non-Turbo ("normally aspirated" - previously S3) and the Turbo. I don't think this is Turbo - no fogs and no hint of rear wing - so just the plain one known as NA HC (290 made) and seems our first example unless we've got others lurking with different IDs. It's not an S4 (which was a 92+ Turbo version with different body updates). References here, here, and here.
