REV 3 Question

Cliff · Post by **Cliff** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:42 pm

It may be a silly question, but I've seen an advert for a REV3 for sale, but it's on a J plate.

Is this possible? I thought they were released in 1994 onwards!?!?

Your help is much appreciated.

It's 93' onwards.....

Are you sure it's not a private plate?

If not, it's easy to tell if it's a rev3.

Would you mean by the rear lights, spoiler, trim, etc?

If so, then couldn't that stuff have been upgraded from the old to the new?

How can I tell if its got the Rev 3 Manifold, Injectors, etc?

Thanks again.

Yeah, check the usual signs like you said they could have been changed....as you have mentioned +

Check the labels on the seatbelts, they have the year on.

Check the VIN number.....There is a list of VIN's and years that they were made somewhere......I'm sure someone has it still.

Arrgghh..

Didn't think of that! Would a HPI check bring up the year of manufacture even if it is an import?

Paul R · Post by **Paul R** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 10:00 pm

possibly not....the year of import could have been pu down as the first registration date....The only way to tell is from the VIN I think.

However, an HPI may show if the year of registration has been changed...

But check the VIN first!!

Where is it advertised? give us a link and I'm sure we could have a look?

I'm sure there was a post on the old forum about how can a rev3 be on an L plate and it not be a rev2 - so I think it's L regs that have both rev2 & 3s.

And here seems to confirm it:
http://web.archive.org/web/200302171903 ... ision3.htm

Nov 1993 -> Dec 1993 - '93 L reg
Dec 1993 -> Aug 1994 - '94 L reg
Aug 1994 -> Jul 1995 - '94 M reg
Jul 1995 -> Aug 1995 - '95 M reg
Aug 1995 -> Oct 1995 - '95 N reg

So the rev3 came out 3 months after the end of K plates.
