If the car you are considering buying has a black roof, it is of the older phase one variety, no matter what the year of first registration may say.

As you mention, sometimes they were in showrooms a long time before first registration.

If you purchase a car that is all one colour then that car is a phase two car.

Phase two cars will have the different [EOBD?] diagnostic plugs and may not lend themselves to chip tuning, but remember what I said about the 4.444 grearbox. That is the cheapest way of quickening up the car so you will notice the difference in performance.

or a manual gearbox, though I believe the price is higher then just a 4.44 swap.
