[s-cars] 95 versus 95.5 - how to tell?

[Bob Rossato]

The 95.5s have a production date of 7/95 and later, and a VIN of 121XXX.  As
far as I can tell there are no other external differences except for the IR
receiver you mentioned.  On the interior you also had a small center visor
and a chrome button on the handbrake, but the wider radio and lack of rear
diff lock are the easiest ways to tell.
