It's interesting that while 900's were first produced in 1979, 99's were still made until 1984 (a year after my 1983 900S!). Like 8V 900's, I presume that 99's didn't get imported to all markets after the 900's came out. Where exactly did 99's get sent to after 1979? Was there any development work done on the 99's post-1979 and were any engineering changes made which were not related to new technology innovations of the period? I'm keen on getting a 99 because of the similarities to the 900's, but I know that to get a 99T in good condition would be quite a coup! I've seen a few here (someone had one at a recent NSW Branch SCCA meetings I attended).
