Okay, I see the difference. So mine is the standard 850 model.
Curiously, though, I think the paint code was R. I don't recall exactly what it was, but I mentioned this car to another MVS member who was doing some front-end work. He told me that his standard 850 paint code was not the R red. EDIT: Now, having read the promo description linked by rspi, the '95 R's were available only in black and yellow. So I don't know what my harvestee was. As I mentioned, it did have the rear deck spoiler, which I also have, and which seemed to be factory fitted.
I'm pretty sure the paint code was R. (Maybe viewers at this time can put their eagle eye on that valence and tell me if its standard red or R red, just so I'll know.)
The car also had the black leather interior and plush leather inserts (which I also have). By the time I got to it the injectors, ECUs and turbo were gone.
Well, it will be good to know what those pieces are. Onward and upward.
So what are they worth? Anybody?

The VIN will tell you if it's an R or not.

The parts came from a JY car last summer. It's now long gone.

Ok, so you think you have some R parts for sale? If that is the case, post a new thread somewhere and I'm sure you'll get opinions and maybe even some offers.
