Zophos1979 ◊ 2007-06-17 01:23	which probably means it's a II with refitted wheels

It is wrongly used on some cars, the purpose of that field is to separate (European) cars with share the same name for different models and which are known by their generation number. -- Last edit: 2010-05-21 16:26:26
