G-MANN ◊ 2013-07-25 16:22	Due the sizing of the name plate badges, I'd say it's either an early Turbo R or an Eight. Originally the Turbo R had chrome door mirrors instead of body-coloured, and no little B badge on the C-pillar. One giveaway is the exhaust, Turbo R had a twin exhuast, Eight had 2 singles. Watching the film I think I can just about tell it's got a twin exhaust. -- Last edit: 2013-07-25 16:30:13

I think there are slight differences in the rims but don't have the time to check properly. These are standard Turbo R rims (that were available on the Eight, I think). 1988 or older by the rear badge.
