Maybe but if it has after market tail lights and crappy wheels I'd say its a mock up. A bad one at that.

The R Spec is just a slightly optioned BF2 F6 and now it won't make any difference in pric whether its an R Spec or not. The so called up graded suspension was just a joke as was all Typhoon suspension shocks springs and bushes. I traded a BA Typhoon on a BF R Spec the BA had pedders sports riders in it which are nothing to rave about but that made it a much better handling car than the BF R Spec. FVP were just emptying the parts bin with leather seats and special mats and a limited run number which now doesn't mean anything.

If you are set on a BF focus on getting a well looked after and serviced example. I've got 2 of the things, one with 23,000 klm and one with 24,000klm. Finish and quality wise they are both clunky diff whining dashboard rattling buckets of sh!t.

The finish on the FGs seems much improved but they lost me because they left the driveline shunt in the things. Out of the BF R Spec and the BA Typhoon IMHO the BA was a better car than the BF and the apparent hundreds of little improvements in the BF over the BA were not very noticable in the real world.

Apart from the suspension crap, it had the mats, leather, ipod connectivity, Rspec badging and grey argent inserts on the foglight surrounds, 19" twisty rims, rear spoiler towers and side skirt fins. The rear spoiler towers is the best way to tell if it's a genuine rspec because they're not offered on any other car, whereas you can spray rims and the BFMKII had the same grey argent foglights and fins.

The only thing that's really worth buying it for is resale (if you're governed to a B series that is). At the end of the day, in a few years time when people are looking for a cheap F6, they'll shop for the optioned ones with leather etc. and the rspec has most of the options.

At the end of the day, after owning both, I'd buy the FG hands down no questions asked. As I said before it's like climbing out of an XE into a BF. They're worlds apart!
