Firstly apologies for the really poor quality pictures, I spotted this car a while ago and had the opportunity to picture it this morning
It's been sitting for a long time, very very rusty.
It has the single lense Cibe headlights and bigger wheels of the post '83 facelift, but registered on an '82 Y. I thought all facelift cars were on an A onwards? Also, it looks like a leftie. The wiper mounts are for a LHD car, yet it's UK reg'd so possibly a conversion as it's difficult to tell if the wheel is on the left.It's been sitting for a long time, very very rusty.
Whatever, an absolute tragedy to see it rot away like that....

Flat Single lenses were release the second half of 1982 (you are correct with the wheels - they are 8 inch ronals and not 6 inch). The LHD wipers is also correct for this year of car. They changed to RHD from 1984.Whatever, an absolute tragedy to see it rot away like that....
In 1984 they facelifted the car to slanted single lense and 8 inch ronals, as well as black rear lights, colour coded spoiler (which this has) and facelifted dash and digital clock.
