Indeed they are! For some reason the darker picture made them look red. Wow, right hand drive! I bet there weren't too many of those made.

Figured I would post a message in this thread, I'm in the market for a black/silver Turbo S. I wanted to know if any owners were interested in selling or would like to hear an offer...Please let me know, thanks Mike.

Can email me at maschein@gmail.com
