The only way to know for sure if you have the 300hp engine is the part #'s on the fuel distributor and casting marks on the camshafts. I think there is extra value if it has the 300hp Euro engine versus the 279hp Euro Spec engine, at least this one has the right exhaust system on it. \r\n\r\nUSA spec 238hp versus 300hp Euro spec, that alone should make every euro spec car that much more desirable. \r\n\r\nAmazing car, looks to be in excellent condition.
