Looks like a spec R to me.
If its legit its a good deal! I've also messaged him as he might be fairly local.

I would have said that is an R, doesn't the S have some horribly large air box on it? shame there isn't a picture of the pillar gauge

yeah, the pipework looks different, it's definitely a turbo engine, as you can see the pipework and the factory boost gauge sender.
matt1966 I'm unsure as to what makes yours an aero and the one in question not? you have the same amount of aero kit. if anything neither of them are because they don't have the front bumper or rear spats?

no front bumper or rear spats= Definitely not an aero.

although when i imported my car i found out something interesting- the aero front bumper was an extra on the optional extra aero kit :s work that out lol

it's a turbo and has mot and tax and some history all trials welcome and AA and RAC checks at buyers own cost!!
I think he had no idea what it was worth..
He has people coming to see it this week so someone is going to get a bargain :)

Original 'Aero' cars only had the skirts and rear wing, Spec S Aero also got the oil pressure gauge as an extra.

Same as a Spec S then. People seem to hugely overstate the differences between the S and R.

Yep, mine's a '99 Aero (according to the code on the VIN) and only has the skirts and wing. Whether the spats/front bumper were options or added later as standard I'm not sure.

Nah, there are plenty of 2002 Aero cars without them. Safe to say the spats and front bumper were always cost extras.
