Nice car...
OK, mine is definitely a FE car and it has blinds, and no extended leather. And the gearshift is not in silver grey (the seat leather colour). But not autodim mirrors. There were differences in FE trim; I think the earlier red interior, for example, was a lot more extensive in the use of red leather than the later FEs. But I don't think I've seen a non-FE with the 2-tone steering wheel yet.
