IIRC it should have leather recaros with the "recaro" badge embroidered on rather than a plastic badge, plus the roof should be a blue mohair roof rather than black vinyl.

tennis had grey sided half leathers and the aqua blue and amythyst pink cabrios on the same year that where just called ltd edition had black sided half leather recaros, in 1990 ford got tight and started half leathering the xr3i seats and on the se500 full leathered them

se500 might have had a mohair roof but not sure on that

tennis cabrios deffo had a chavy white roof and grey half leathers as ive got one in my garage !!!

Out in the sticks, near where i used to live, in Troston, there's one of these, been sat outside a garage forecourt for years, at least 9, maybe more. Its missing a headlight, interiors a bit mouldy, but nice low mileage, and the old boy that owns it wont sell it.
