Cool

Andy,

Have a look on www.sidc.co.uk

A list a model types and there specifications can be found here, there are also a couple of RB5 websites to visit in the "links" section

Should tell you most of what you need to know, but ensure the RB5 you are interested in has the PPP upgrade certificate with it if it is being sold as such.

A "WR Sport" version of the car was available at extra cost, specified at delivery time by the first owner.
