If you want to PM me your VIN, I'll look it up on our database to double check if you like

Thanks, Paul, I'll PM you right away!

Turns out my Tourer still is a Club version.
Wouldn't mind it turning into a Connoisseur (better yet - Connoisseur SE) over night, though

Your car is a Contemporary as it's an export model, various export markets used alternative names for the standard specs.

Looks like one or two extra's on a Club model, rain sensor, parking sensors, Symphony radio and front foglamps [judging by the LSM].
