So not a mainstream export spec, but not a standard made-for-anywhere version. That was my thought,but if it were registered to a serviceman,it would have different plates? US Sized with "USA" on them (West Germany) or "AFI" (American Forces in Italy)? US Tourist who planned on taking it home? (Odd choice,most who do this buy a Mercedes or BMW?) Seen some Greek exports that had the lights done like these,too???
