Title: Visual difference between 13b and 20b?
Post by: L18M on June 22, 2011, 11:13:53 PM
Just been looking at a few cosmo\'s and they dont say if thye 13b or 20b.
Are there any visual clues to which it may be?
Badges, bumpers, skirts, interior etc

thanks in advance :)

20B has 3 ROTOR RE badge on nearside wing and four exit exhaust (Plus an extra 50% engine capacity of course :Thumbs-up)

I\'m guessing the question was - without lifting the bonnet how do you tell - the inlet manifolds are so obvious that you\'d be in no doubt whether you had a 2 or 3 rotor lump - and helpfully - on the 20b it even says \'3 rotor\'
