hi all
this talk of the various rear suspensions for different 200B models,
and the fact early versus later 1600s have slightly different front
ends has me wondering if there are such differences in the 1600
rear suspension? ie were there slight differences in the 1600 IRS
setup over the years, in the same way as the front end??
