Hi, could we compile a list of all the differences between an 85 and an 89 special?
Footman james can't insure me because it isn't 85 or before, so I'd like a list to present them with to show how insignificant the differences are?

Cheers.

Different dash knobs.
Place of production.
'Citroen' boot badge had lost the chevrons by '89.
