Hence I said model year, not year. Not every country got the same model year in the same calendar year. Most notably the US, which was 1 year off most of the time. You guys didn't get the twin-spark until 2004 either, which is model year 2003. Makes it a bit tricky when discussing things on an international forum.

And if that's not confusing enough, there is of course the models from year A that weren't sold and titled until year B which are then registered as year B when they are actually year A.
