R3V, I Think I Found a Rare Gem

I have seen the same neon green cab on Wheeler Dealers or Deals on Wheels. They fixed it up and sold it. The design colors are cool. I really dig the technoviolet.
According to the site (and it's not 100% definitive), your car should have 15x7 silver weaves, shadowline trim and M tech 2 steering wheel + leather handbrake gaitor.

I noticed your car isn't shadowlined and has bodycolored 14" weaves vs silver 15" weaves. It also appears to be federalized (I'm not familiar with Canadian models) with 3rd brakelight, sealed beams, US grills, sidemarkers, etc. Does it have M tech 2 steering wheel? any special trim in the interior? Feel free to post more pics!

Ya, as mentioned by Todd Black 88. It's a Canadian Spec model, it was originally delivered and sold in Canada so it was never "federalized" it just came that way. Other than the obvious seats and door cards for interior, it also has an m-tech 1 steering wheel and an m-tech shift knob as well. It looks like a regular e30 knob with m stripes in the top left of the shift pattern.

I'll get some more pictures once I get the car cleaned up a bit.

I've seen probably 5-6 of this color combo vert's in Ontario.

This is what I like seeing/learning about. Definitely (for me) an E30 worth keeping entirely original spec.


Mucho congrats OP and thanks to the R3v OGs for the info, very interesting to read!

I have never seen one this color, that makes it rare and desirable in my book!
