The surprisingly well appointed entry-level package was badged Classic, while those in search of brighter colours and a more youthful appearance could opt for similarly-priced Esprit models.出乎意料的好任命入门级教材是badged经典而寻找更美好的青春和外观颜色可以选择同样价格但这套模式.
The pursuit of luxury began in earnest if you paid the premium to specify your car in wood and chrome-trimmed Elegance form.追求豪华,如果你开始认真补订你的车薪木材和铬裁剪高雅的形式. Those of sporting inclination meanwhile, were encouraged to opt for the Sport package, with its distinctive trim, attractive wheels and stiffened suspension.这些体育倾角同时,鼓励选择运动包,以其鲜明的修剪、车轮和吸引力肋停牌.
This formula was an instant success, coupled as it was with the usual wide selection of engines.这个公式是急功近利,因为它与一般的耦合多幅引擎. Early buyers chose between 1.8 or 2.2-litre petrol units (the C180 and the C220) or opted for 2.5-litre normally aspirated diesel power (the C250).早期买家选择1.8或2.2公升的汽油单位(c180与c220)或选择2.5公升柴油电力正常送气(兰).
