The second key hole in the trunk is a kill switch for everything. The power window switches in the console do nothing!lol The rear windows are manual also. I was told by the original owner that the original console panel was wood and cracked very badly he said. So he bought a replacement panel from the dealership and they sent him the wrong one...but he never changed it back to the original style panel. The rear seats do have headrests which is cool. I didnt really know that the tach was that rare but it is very cool! Below is a picture of some of the switches I cant figure out. The one on the left is the rear interior light. The one on the far right is for the rear defrost. the two on both sides of the ac switches boggle my mind. If anyone knows what they are for or have a good guess please let me know! I got a great deal on the car and couldnt pass it up. I wasnt planning on buying a car but when I saw this I had to have it. It's not perfect but its in great condition for it age and im sure I will have a lot of fun with it.

The emblem delete is actually fairly common on Euro models.

You have 2 "fanfare horn" switches... 1 belongs there, the other doesn't. Perhaps the PO put 2 for some reason.. try 'em out & see what happens.
Usually there is a power sunroof switch or a power antenna switch in one of those spots (sans the power roof on yours).

The A/C controls looks strange, like it's fabricated... I thought yours would have the vertical wheel-type... Hmmm.
If you post a pic of your data plate or build card, we can help you decode your entire car.

I noticed the ac looked almost aftermarket...but I thought possible that it was put in the car when he brought it over here to the states. I will take a few pictures of some #plates and post them later today or tomorrow hopefully. Getting ready for christmas this year has been crazy! I appreciate all the info. Oh and what do the "fanfare" switches normally do?
