"Devil R" - the Marcos Ambrose special edition (Marcos had a nickname, the Devil Racer, because he was born in Tassie). There was also a Russell Ingall "Enforcer" edition.

If I remember correctly the Devil R and Enforcer were released concurrently and there was only 125 of each. The Devil R was available only in Shockwave blue and the Enforcer only in Envi green. Ambrose and Ingall signed the owner's manuals in their namesake models together with a plate mounted in the engine bay but I don't know if they were individually numbered. Each original owner also received a limited edition racing picture signed by Ambrose or Ingall.

Devil R = 125, no individual build # There's only 124 as a person i know had his written off. I might have a Devil R poster somewhere.
