Very Early T5? 850 Guru's..

[850 T5 NZ]

Hello all, my 850 T5 recently turned 30! I have had it 5 odd years, and noticed it is registered here in NZ as a 1993 car. I have the original service doc that says its first service was 10-1-94 and 1st owner purchased on the 12-1-94. Has the factory reverse intercooler pipes etc. Are there any older ones out there?! Was first imported into NZ feb 93, seems to have all orig paint (lots of stone chips!) but quite tidy. I have fitted the facelift rear lights, R rear spoiler and have a R front bumper to go on. Volan wheels etc etc. Its my daily driver and has done 179000 miles, runs on a ARD ecu and with the manual box is a riot to hoon around in! If anyone is interested there are some other odd things I have found with the car that I can post later.

She looks very tidy 850 T5 NZ. I've not seen one in this colour. A very nice subtle maroon. I didn't realise the reverse intercooler pipe was available on the early 850 T5s/T5Rs/850Rs etc. Could it be an aftermarket RIP kit install?

thanks! no the early cars were piped like this till they had a problem with it being to efficient in cold climates.. freezing.
It still had a plasitc cover plate/blank behind the grill when i first got it, probably a rare part these days!
