Have I bought a Type R or been ripped?

Hello, I have recently bought a 1989 (badged) type R Integra. I've started to get suspicious about its genuineness. Information I can find from the car is as follows:
VIN: JHM DA9 3500S001478
Stamped on the block: B18A1
It's listed production date is September 1989 (DA9)
Any ideas what I have got???
Thanks...

Its an unfortunate problem that people have, however its all about the look that people want to have to make other owners jelly

But it doesnt matter, its more about what you like out of the car and what you want it to look like.

Doesnt matter about what everyone else wants you to have your car look like or what they think
