Technical identity
This first expansion records museum-level specifications rather than pretending every year and market used one immutable specification.
Research starting point
Model-year specifications can vary. The museum keeps the stable historical interpretation here and leaves room to add exact variants, racing derivatives, engine codes and source-specific specifications later.
