Thought the Wentworth was a completely different model, must be wrong.

St5ve's one has the additional badge to the left of the 850 badge on the trunk and is in the green so I reakon it must be one of the limited edition ones talked about on Wikipedia. Sounds a lovely car, wish I had 2K to spare! There is also another of these '850 Wentworths' for sale on the net, assume they are both mistaken then, is there no such model? I'd never heard of it, thought it was a 940 model too....
Wikipedia: In 1995 a special limited edition race-bred model was released. This "850 T-5R" model was limited in exterior paint color choices: only available in cream yellow (2500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon), in black (2500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon) and emerald green metallic (500 worldwide including sedan and station wagon). The vehicle was based upon the 850 Turbo with the B5234T5 engine with a special ECU known as the Bosch #628 ECU, that added 3 psi (21 kPa) to turbocharger boost pressure, giving the engine an additional 18 horsepower (13 kW). 1995 was the only year that the race-bred model was badged as a "T-5R". All subsequent models are badged with just the simple addition of "R". Example: 1995 850 T-5R, 1996 850R, 1997 850R, 2004 S60R, etc. Also, included in the 1995 "T-5R" package is a front bumper with a lip, and a special Alcantara (the fire-retardant version of Toray Industries' Ultrasuede (tm)) and leather two-tone interior, in dark grey with deep birch wood grain accents. Additionally, the 1995 "T-5R" models came with polished aluminum door sills and for the 1995 model year only, the "T-5R" had an additional badge to the left of the "850" on the trunk, referred to as "The Motorsport badge". Aftermarket Motorsport badges are available and are often added by owners but only the 1995 T-5R came standard with that badge. The standard wheels were the 5-spoke 17×7 "Titan". The 1995 "T-5R" had a very limited production run. With the age of the "T-5R" and the fact that they appeal to more aggressive drivers the number still on the road has shrunk.

The T-5R is indeed a "limited" edition,altough I think there are less R's in the
UK,so gets you thinking.It has an overboost wich gives you 240horses,for 35 seconds(correct me if i"m wrong),whereas the R has 250 horses all the time. |

I think the first one I have listed is also one of the rare ones and I think he is talking about the fact it's in 'wentworth green' ????
