s13a ◊ 2019-06-10 21:26	I assumed the body-colored bumpers came on 1985+ models, like in the brochures?
Exiv96 ◊ 2019-06-10 22:12	I don't know about the color of the bumpers, but that brochure seems to be a bit older. The RWD Carina range was reduced after the FWD Carina was launched. All fancy versions were dropped, leaving only standard sedans and vans.
