Re: List of Known existing 89s
All of the car that I have is black. The seats are tan leather. Geoff said that they came from this car.

Hmmm... Well what ties the "P9Y078" to this car? The range that 78 falls in should be in the VIN range #40 to #54 range, but I have all of those and none of them are Black/Saddle. Three of them are black though #42 Blk/Red #47 BLK/BLK #53 BLK/Red. It could be the Kim Baker car shown earlier in the thread. It was in France during the Press Intro and per testimony none of those cars came back. Are the seats the only saddle parts you have? The Ken Baker car had a roll bar any signs of a roll bar? Eric

Re: List of Known existing 89s
If it falls in the #40 to #54 range it would have been assembled the last week of October 1988 to Early November 1988.
Are there any date codes on the parts? the seats? If the parts are dated later it would most likely be after that group. There was about a 45 day gap between #54 and #55. They built #55 the first week of January 1989.

Re: List of Known existing 89s
This one was an 89 that was cut in half instead of smashed. According to Geoff, the later cars were not smashed. They were all cut in half. That's how he acquired the parts.

Re: List of Known existing 89s
I forgot that those parts came from the US. I knew those cars were cut in half as I saw some par5ts from them several years ago.

Re: List of Known existing 89s
So was the source of P9Y078 from the US and not the UK? Eric

Re: List of Known existing 89s
Sorry for the confusion. The car Britt has is the car on the left in the lower picture. This is a graveyard car.
http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...aveyard_1s.jpg The panels he is using to reconstruct it came from an 89 zr-1 that was cut up here in the US. Tyler
