According to the information I have, the L6 in the 'Engine Moteur' box signifies a 1600 CVH. The LS in Christos car says 1600 fuel economy type. Not 100% sure but seems to break down as July 1991 but with a type 9 gearbox. If it was a 1991 cosworth, it would be 4x4 with an MT75 box. If you PM me your email address, I will send you a copy of the vin plate breakdown information. Cheers David.
