Mk3 - S4 Upgrade in Devon
Mk3 - S4 Upgrade in Devon
Met up with the owner of this Mk3 Series 4 upgrade today.
Originally Tangerine, Black with sheepskin inserts.
Went back to the factory in the 1980’s for S4 upgrade.
Just a few electrical jobs & AC to sort.

Grant,
The switches for the seats have been moved onto the
gearstick console. Heated & adjustable I think.

Re: Mk3 - S4 Upgrade in Devon
The engine was sorted by John Sleath some years back.
Think it’s over 100bhp above standard.
