    Looks like it was a mixed bag of UK & Aus RS2000 gear. UK mirrors, Pancake airfilter, dash clock pod, inboot long range fuel tank, 3.7 diff and stripes; Aus heavy duty suspension and Scheele seats - more UK than AUS I'ld say at first glance....

    Cheers

    It also looks like the wheels the Aus version had standard, not the 4 spoke alloy like the European ones.

    The biggest spec change came in September `78. The RS was now available in two specifications (basic and custom).
    The basic was exactly the same mechanically but it lost a lot of the `luxuries`, including
    Tinted glass, glove box, door cards, console and the alloys. The interior was a mixture of the 1600 Sport and the Mexico.
    The custom was much the same as the original of `76 except the following.
    The original Scheel seats were replaced by Recaros, the glass had a bronze tint instead of a green one and you had a choice of trim colour!
