Production date (build) on our Sports edition is 1/04/02 and it was delivered 31/05/02. There was no mention of them at the 2002 car show in march, so the one you saw may have been the first, every one I have seen so far was received in May or June. They weren't cheaper either, they were exactly the same price as the BJII SP20, it wasn't until the line of SP20 sedans started (BJIIJ48)that they dropped in price and were slightly less than the hatches.
I like the interior better, I never realised it was different, but compared to our friends 2001 SP20 it still looks new, and doesn't have threads to pull.
