very strange....

Found this car at a local garage, it's rather cheap (for a TII that is). I did see something strange but it took me a few moments to realize what was wrong...

It's not a turbo.
Black side mirrors give it away.&nbsp Unless the PO changed over to NA mirrors?&nbsp This is for a US-spec FC, as the Japan one do run the folding mirrors.

That is what I thought , but when I think about it, could it be that the european version of the TII was different than the US one. I've seen a few TII's and also NA's from 1989 (the last year that they where sold overhere) with black mirrors and black rubber-striping overhere. (could be leftovers from 1988 that where sold in 1989). Here is another one ..

btw I didn't read the previous post very well, folding mirrors are compulsory overhere. I don't have them on my car, but that is allowed because it's imported from the US. New cars that are sold overhere have to have them.

Unless it was messed with Photoshop, it's LHD.&nbsp This elminates the possibility it's a non-US model.&nbsp 7 "spoke" rims makes it 1988 rims.&nbsp The non-stock rear spoiler is the only thing "odd" about the car...
