Thanks to every one for there help, yes mine does look exactly like the 1 in the picture, and yeah sorry forgot to mention its on a b plate

Possible but pushing it a bit. Just did some anorak-type research ?

The 'Campaign' model was available from August 1983 (A reg) until just into 1984. So a mk1 will not be on a B plate but it could be a very last of the line model that was registered at the start of 1984.

If Keith's is a mk1 it is going to look like this:

In fact... you might want to read it anyway...pretty interesting!

sorting out a couple of pics asap !! thanks.

Probably a Mk1. 1984 must be close to the change over, I haven't seen any 'A' reg mk2's only B reg onwards. If you post some pics we could tell you for sure.

If its on a 'B' plate I would have thought it was an early Mk2. Don't think I have ever seen a Mk1 on a 'B' plate.
Strange therefore that you say yours does look like the one in the picture  
looking forward to seeing your pictures :-/

Ok its confirmed its an early Mk2. Keith sent me the pictures this morning.
First effort at posting pics, hope this works:-
