brillo pad its actually very accurate  (is it wrong i want to buy it off him to work on, so much potential)  
  
its a midnight blue, you can see it must be a very beautiful colour cleaned up. its an import   does that help, would be interesting if it is rare, may buy it without telling him that and sell on   haha

I am sure if you cross check the serial numbers specs etc you will know for sure? 
  
The Dakar was a UK special - his is an import.  
  
Could be a G-Limited but I'll let you have a scan through this as the JDM special editions go on and on and on and on....
