dsl ◊ 2022-01-01 00:59	I'm tempted to go for 100M - along with the 100S, it was the only version with this style of plate light as standard - all other versions had bumpers containing the light. 100M is a rare one (640 made), but about 85% went to US; 100S is very rare racer (50 made, 25 went to US), but all production was RHD and I think had big racing filler below rear window. There were some dress-up packs to make ordinary 100/4 look like 100M, but might as well go for 100M.
