96 T5-R

Post by dlintvet »

Have 96 T5-R. Wickapedia says T5-R's only produced in 95. Mine indicates it was produced 1/96 (door sticker). VIN number is YV1LS5823T2313198. Can anyone help me clear this up. If I sell the car, want to represent it correctly. Were there only 185 of this model sold in 95 as Wicapedia says? Is mine a fluke?

That is a 1996 850R
The T5R designation is only for 1995 in Black or Yellow
96 were Black/White/Red and less than a handful of green and/or dark grey Rs
