Allen in Montreal Posted August 29, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted August 29, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone tell me how to differentiate the versions of R8 bodies. I would like to pick up an R8 in the next few months and have not paid enough attention to know the differences and would appreciate any tips.

Allen in Montreal Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share #3 Â Posted August 29, 2010 That is perfect. Thank you very much Carl. Allen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
italy74 Posted September 2, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted September 2, 2010 Carl my case is just one of those listed in the article you mentioned. I spotted a 2292xxx R8 WITH winder in Milan (I guess you can easily remove it.. what I don't get is their warning "no battery holder present ?" Maybe the chamber cover was lost when mounted the winder ?).. would be nice to know if the issues happen only when winder is mounted or if there's an extensive check to do before...
