ROW 968s
 
So, I'm researching the ROW 968s for the new register website. As far as what makes up a ROW 968 I came up with the following:

Side marker lens on fender
No front or rear bumperettes
Kilo speedo
Rear seats on a cab
Headlight height adjuster on console
No airbags????
Steering wheel on right side on British models
Something different with the taillight lens?

Any other differences?
Thanks
jeff

Jeff,

The 3 ROW cars that I have been able to give a close inspection all had a small badges riveted to the passenger side wheel well inside the engine compartment. 2 of those cars were CS versions and the other was a factory Turbo S, converted to RS. The US delivery versions have the 2 rivet holes there but no badge.

Cheers,

British, Aussie, NZL, Singapore, Malaysia, sometimes Japan have righthand drive cars. Japanese cars have clear reverse light segments in the tail light assembly. It's unique to Japanese delivered cars AFAIK. I have a Japanese delivered LHD car in my drive.
-kph speedo
-no bumperettes
-no airbags
-it does have ABS

where should that adjuster be on the console?

Headlight Adjusters
 
Does this indicate a difference in headlight lenses as well?

Great, I never heard of the french yellow fog lights! They must be listed in PET. I'll have to look.

You won't find them Jeff. Our version of the Katalog doesn't give us access to the part numbers for ROW specific items.

For example, the Euro cars have rear fog lamps - we don't. If you look in the Katalog illustration # 903 - 00 you will see a switch with a reference number of 5. If you look for it in the text there is no description for 5. It is the rear fog lamp switch which they will not offer us the part number for.

Cliff,
I'm told I have the ROW version of Pet. I went to order new front bumperettes (yes, I know, I'm sick) and the part number was not in my catalog.

Ah - very cool. Please look up the part number for a Turbo RS - the whole car. I would like to order one.

You may also recognize that the French unveiling pin has all the lights in yellow... :D

I have a set of the yellow fogs on the turbo cab, installed them after the pic on my signature.
