Really very nice pearl SVX on eBay

Wow!
This is the first time I have seen an SVX go to this price level [£3495 as I write this] for two years or more!

Very pretty car with a remarkably clean body and paintwork.

Maybe with a few more of these the value of our cars can start to climb for a change!

once again - front washers on the head lights & is that switch near the gear selector for altering the angle of headlights (up / down)

Yeah Steve, as I confirmed to you before those black raised spots on the front bumper are the headlight washer nozzles.

Plus as you mention the switch to the right of the gear shifter is the tilt switch for adjusting the beams.

This is a picture of it from Sonny's Swedish car.

A 1994 LSi (or whatever they call it there, highest model) with no passenger air bag

... That is a first

Different markets got different trim levels, mostly to suit the preference of the target buyer.

But sometimes to keep the price down per unit.

I suppose you would prefer to have your two airbags or your front wheel drive SVX models, rather than get the VTD gearbox the UK cars got?

Another one to add to the spreadsheet. How many do we have now?

The list including this one stands at 168 cars. These are SFAIK unique cars with different registrations.

Because your UK system allows re-registration using personal plates, it's possible one or two could be re-reg cars or overlap, but I don't think so.

The origins of this 168 cars are as follows:

126 UK market
40 JDM market
1 European market [lhd, country unknown]
1 USA market.

Of the 168 listed four are scrapped, 3 x UK cars plus 1 x JDM cars.

I'll send you the spreadsheet. I need to redraft it before I can publish on the Network because it would conflict with Data Protection legislation in its present form if published.

[It's interesting we only know approx half the cars sold into the UK market.]

Mine is a '92 model with NO air bags!....but I'm with the Italians on this, they dont like cars with air bags and drive without seat belts...they think driving with these safetey features means your tempting fate and not a 'man' who should be driving fast cars!
