    Hey guys,

    Just finished a long 4-5 day detail on the 328 and it came out amazing!

    The car still has its original paint and has travelled 48,000 miles.

    The interior has been reupholstered and all the mechanicals done including a new clutch.

    Next things, is to Sell!

    Thanks; I guessed it from the type of the exhaust headers and RHD: these headers are specifics to cars with catalysator, and the only RHD cars with cats are the Australian-market model...but I was sligthly in doubt due to the "euro" type rear view mirrors, as I thought that some (most?) Australian cars had the "Flag" mirrors like US Cars...

    It is an early car, 1986 so I don't know if that makes a difference cause I've noticed a few differences when compared to my 1989 one of the last chassis numbers.

    The 328 did not record as mainy changes between early and last cars than the carbed 308 GTBs for instance, but, aside from the main eveolution of the production which occured with car 76626 (revised suspension) there are a few dozen changes nevertheless, some mechanical (new valves for the engine for instance), some in the upholstery, like the leather sheath on the hand brake handle, seat mechanisms, stitching of the leather in front of the steering wheel; or carpets under the front hood, etc...
    Changes stopped after car # 79660; all cars after that one are identical in their minute details, except of course the main market change for the different market models: euro without cats, etc...LHD vs RHD, but no detail modification.
