Whats the build date? I will assume it means "early production". The easiest way to tell is a distributor cap instead of crank angle sensor. Some came with turbo hoods, different body moldings, different colored window switch buttons etc.

It has rear side markers. I didn't think Euro / Jap market cars came with rear side markers. Nice car!

The "E" doesn't refer to production date or destination. All Euro-spec S4NAs have a Distributor (N323 ECU).

S6 FDs are E-FD3S, S7/S8s are GF-FD3S. "E" means eFini (NOT Infini...) perhaps? It'll take quite a few chassis number plates to nail this down though. Will need some from various JC Cosmos, a few Efini MPVs and a couple Autozam AZ-1s to be sure.

Was it "E-JCESE"? E meaning "Eunos" would be the most logical explanation here
