Thanks for the detail.
So when we see (modern) pictures of 70 RA4 cars with Ram Air IV on the scoop, this was just recently added as Gratuitous Bling?
See below video about 0:35.
Also, Chestnut's 50 Fastest Kindle ebook shows a blue 70TA with letters on the scoop too. But those are both "modern" visuals.
