I'm not so sure, i think some of the very early R plate mk2 still got the 130bhp unit till it was switched over, i remeber looking at the time i was buying, apart from the quite large specification change i do remember a bhp change from the 98s to the 98iS.
Parkers have moved some of the stats about from when i was last looking due to the MK3 specs coming out.
Ah well it could all be in my head, i did have another car stats site that listed it all our exactly with all the options your get but i've lost it.
Hmmm, your probably right about it being the early 98 models that used the older less powerful 1.8 engines then, I know my insurance company told me my 99 plate was 140bhp
I have done nothing but driven it, and pampered it Next year is the year of toys for the car I think.
Yes the PPP makes it 301bhp, as certified by Prodrive (and the sticker on my drivers door jamb).
So it could be used as a pretty good bench mark I guess
