Not wishing to put my foot in it or speak out of turn, but are the dates the year of manufacture of the car ? If so, every RS500 was made in 1986 and sold in 1987. Had mine for 4 years until some enthusiast relieved me of it  and was quite well up on this particular model.. No offence intended...  I also well remember with amazement the Lotus Sunbeam. When I was sponsoring Ray Stringer he had one, I thought I would embarrass him when we hit a long stretch of straight...... at 125mph he was still sitting right beside me, ok bits of it were flapping in the breeze but..

i ran the car for 9 months i brought the car with a blown engine and rebuilt it it was a 1987 ybd engine and i rebuilt it to ybg spec 340 bhp

I love my elite, but my RS500 was the joy of my life, ' even including, any one, of my 3 wives ' ?? Just for interests sake : < i ran the car for 9 months i brought the car with a blown engine and rebuilt it it was a 1987 ybd engine and i rebuilt it to ybg spec 340 bhp > The ybd engine produced 224bhp in standard form, wasn't the ybg engine reduced to 220bhp as it ran on unleaded and had an extra cat fitted to accomodate the yanks ?

yes 220bhp standard spec due to extra cat,however sports cats chip and turbo pressure increase saw power up to 340 at the flywheel around 300 at the wheels i think if memory serve me well
