Weasel1984 ◊ 2009-05-20 20:03	On the IMDb someone wrote that it is the "850". Correct? :
chris40 ◊ 2009-05-20 20:18	Or 1000: both were assembled in Chile. http://www.aronline.co.uk/index.htm?chileindexf.htm
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-05-20 20:34	Does the one in the main picture have a glass fibre body?
chris40 ◊ 2009-05-20 22:02	Yes indeed - note the lack of a gutter above the rear window. The normal steel body had a separate roof panel with a gutter over the rear window.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2009-05-22 19:58	Sad that the type of body wasn't somehow pointed out in the model name.

These had no A-pillar seams or roof drip channels, and did have wind-up windows and a swage line along sills and arches as seen here.
