C70R
Ran the VIN on Vadis, and it said it was a LPT. I ran the VIN on carfax, and it said it had a 2.9l I6. What is up with this car?

I was just looking on ebay at some R's, and there was a C70R. I just thought they pulled a Josh, and put the R on there, but the interior has suede/leather C70 seats!

I've never seen a C70 with suede/leather C70 seats before. Was this rare?

It's possible that the PO wanted to make it into a semi-R version so he had the seats custom altered. It's not all that expensive to add to the skins.
I had to register my basement as an NFA item.

I saw it too Josh,the white w/ tan interior.Looked to me like the R was even put on crooked.All bullhist as far as I can tell.Car dealer doesn't know the diff,so they just listed it by what the back of the car said.

no such thing....seats look reupholstered to me...bs flag
In Europe there are a lot of C70's with half leather/Alcantara seats, with different colors and even with the leather in an other color as the alcantara. Factory option...
I prefer the full leather

It says the "R" is a package. That wide-body C70 was an R as well. This may, however, be a scam to maximize profit. 
My sig is too big.

This is the only "R"package existing for a C70

Which probably explains the deceitful nature of the C70 for sale.
