- different steering wheel - there is embossed SVX logo
- tail brake light
- missing rear wing
- different engine cover

You may find as I did that there is not an air bag inside the wheel, as its too early, so its worth while having a look. There should be two small access panels on either side of the wheel when in the straight ahead position. If that is the case then there is an airbag fitted. It should also have "SRS airbag" on the wheel also.

These differences are interesting all right Graham, and reminds me of something. I was recently looking at the pics on the German SVX site.

They have a photo call from the meetings held yearly, and in different places. What I found most interesting was in '98 and '99, they had quite well attended meetings, 12 cars or more being in group photos. When looked at from behind, the vast majority had no rear wing. In a group of 14, there might be 12 without the rear spoiler, and two with it.

This is very similar to the UK SVX market. At our meetings, only a few had rear spoilers, and in most cases [don't know about Mal's yellow peril ] the ones with spoilers were imports.

In the USA, the opposite applies. Very few cars are seen without the USA style spoiler.
