Calais or Berlina ?

[jayozi]

Hey guys I just bought a VY 5.7 and I don't know if its a Calais or Berlina ?

I bought it from a country Ford dealership and it was advertised as a SV8 but it has a berlina badge on the back and a Calais badge on the dash below the passenger airbag.

The dealer said they think its a belrlina but im not so sure ?

How can I tell the difference ?

Thanks for any help .

PS : ive added a few pics if that helps.

Looks like a berlina to me

The outer body looks like Berlina to me and the wheels are Berlina.
Basically the same as my sons.
The only thing that looks different is the dash colour, maybe had a Calais dash fitted.
