Good luck to who ever gets it. It looks like a solid car. I was thinking track car if I pulled the trigger but since I brought it to the forums I had no chance lol. Do I get a finders fee?

Could have been swapped due to damage of the original I suppose but I doubt it. If it has all the plumbing and jets for the washers, and you had to swap the bumper for one without holes for the jets, why wouldn’t you simply drill holes, it’s easy.
I’m guessing that washers were an option on cars in certain markets and there is an option code #288 for it.

All North American Turbo S cars were fully optioned with headlight washers and split fold-down rear seats.

That is a Canadian market vehicle (side markers) that's had both the front and rear bumper covers swapped out. The original equipment would include washers - and for non-Turbo S cars without the option, washer plugs. Under no circumstances would it have a smooth bumper cover up front. The rear has obviously been converted to a Euro bumper, too, as all Canadian cars had North American bumpers with the two thick rubber pads.

As a data point, my Canadian market silver rose 951S has headlight washers and split rear seats. The front seats were plaid with leather bolsters.

The Canadian market cars did not come with side markers on the fenders, but in the usual spot on the bumper cover. I'd put money on that car being a Japanese import with the original bumpers.

Not really sure on the fascination over Silver Rose cars personally. Guess I'm in the minority?

Same. It's actually the least desirable color scheme of all the Turbo S cars. That's interior is godawful, IMHO. Still, it is a Turbo S and there was significant cachet to the Silver Rose hype back in the day.

It's just because the silver rose had all the options on the chassis as well as the other "S" bolt on options like the suspension and transaxle. It has ABS and the mounting locations for the pump inside the passenger front fender behind the wheel, the split rear seat set up and three point rear seat belts so it had the mounting points for them, the 10 way speaker set up for the rear speakers(talking only chassis), front chassis support bracket. And of course for bolt on's it has all the M030 options, AOR transaxle, dual airbag, bigger turbo, there's a bit to list but you'll get my point. And yes it is an ugly interior, I'm not a fan of the exterior color also. But it can be painted...
