1AZ - Modification stock order or order sold

Could it be B3W??

B3W - Advance price sheet

Not sure what either of them actually means.

B3W nearly always appears on builds for Canada and I see you've a Canadian location so that is very likely. Is it a build for Canada? I believe it's involved in the duties assessed with the import of the vehicle.

A Canadian build I believe would display a Z49 Instrument cluster.

You mean something other than the "in floor" compartments? If your answer to that is yes then NO there's no additional. Does the car we're discussing display Z52? Does it display the Z49?

The only storage "compartment" in the back is behind the passenger seat. There should be a tab and a pushbutton that opens it. There should be a small plastic tray that lifts out to reveal a larger storage area below it.

The lid behind the driver's seat is held down with a single screw and that compartment holds the ABS unit. No storage area there.

Z52 was a suspension option that was available on both the coupe and convertible in 1987 and 1988.
