    Nice, Turquoise green on Turquoise green! Is that one a Powershift or a 4 Speed?

        I always liked the look of the "Spider" wheels. It's missing the supercharged emblems by the front door. Got any more pics?

          If it is the original color and one of the nine R3s, it is either 5089 or 5532 and a four speed.

          EDIT: By what I can see of the stickers, it hasn't been on the road in NY for awhile.

            The car was in storage for many many years in northern New Jersey. The original owner sold it because he could not get the car to run correctly no matter who attempted to repair it. The second owner put it into storage where it slept as I mentioned. The car is 4 speed. Somehow the fender emblems disappeared over the years.......no answer for that? No telling what the car is worth, but she continues to be looked after, tended to, and made road worthy.

                    What does someone see that I don't, that makes the leap to the conclusion that this is an R3?

                        I gave the two possible choices, but Hawklover will have to tell you which one.

                            Gents!
                            I know you all can understand that I am not at liberty to divulge the owner and the address where the car is garaged............indeed I would lose a close family friend.......but trust me......this is no clone!
