A couple of members based on my query in an unrelated thread were posting their specs and descriptions of what differentiates a (vin code) 51 4 door High sedan/saloon, a 52 4 door base sedan/saloon and a 53 4 door sport sedan/saloon. There are also 54, 55 & 56 wagons/estates that follow the above description code in sequence (high, base, sport).

Thermo thought having members post accurate, complete descriptions by the membership may help figure what is different between them. A few were posted when an obvious suggestion was made to create a new thread with correct header to get more inout.
