The first thing I look at on any R8 on the street is the front indicators, mine has the early type and these are starting to get very scarce now.
I like the later type too, but the early cars are starting to get thin on the ground and to me stick out like a sore thumb!
I do know of a few G reg cars, including one (putting ones anorak on here) with the early type reverse selector linkage..... :blushing

Glad to see this post has picked up some interest. I still see many of these cars about, but not many like mine; 220GTi on a K-plate with the old indicators, no grill and big bumper. The last time I saw one was about 12 weeks ago. I must up-load a couple of pictures, as I still love it.

BTW, what's the *strike* thing about under Gibbo's name?

Have been recently discussing cars that were formerly street furniture on Irish roads, but now no more on another forum. People hang on to cars much less here in Ireland and are encouraged to scrap their cars far more readily. We never appreciate them until they're gone!

I pretty much never see a MKII 200 of any description on Irish roads.
When I am over in England I don't see them that often now either.
This is the turning point I believe now in the model's lifecycle when the only people who own them are either those who want to own them or those who cannot afford to own anything else. I hope those in the former category will appreciate them enough to dig deep and open their wallets when the decision time comes to either finance some repairs to keep it on the road long term or bring it to the end of its journey at the scrapyard.

Can't remember last time I saw a Mk.1 200 (213/216) from late 80s. Must be years. They seem to have completely disappeared. We had a 216 EFi VDP in the late 80s. Quite a nice car.

Cheers,
Hugh
