not sure if the efi's had ac?
It was optional on Vogue models but standard on the Vogue SE.
The additional slats in the lower front spoiler give the game away for an a/c car (and an extra pair for abs too).

Went and had a look at the red one at Walton motors, been poorly resprayed with paint runs and overspray on screen rubber. Also the rear inner arches been hand painted with a brush, nice! Went and had a look at a green one at auction today, after having a discussion that I didn't want to pay £10 for a catalogue and to enter the auction, they finally agreed to let me look at the rangy to find both sills and rear inner arches need replacing. Funny how it got no advisories on the mot. Some of these auctioneers are thieving monkies. I'm losing the will to live. Might have to open my options up to an auto.

Bugger !!!!

I suspect you might have to look at an auto alternatively look for a cheaper one and spend the money to get it up to spec as its been said they can be money pits !!

Good Luck

Sills on a RR aren't structural in the same sense as one of those modern cars.
