Here's a nice example of an R32 that was listed on eBay. Click the images to enlarge.

This is a Vision R32 over-seat-steering long wheel base recumbent. It features a slightly taller seating position than other laid-backs, the nimble R32 21-speed is fast and very comfortable. That's due to its built-in rear suspension, adjustable seat, conventional out-in-front handlebars, and stable midlength wheelbase of 54 inches. This bike has an SRAM 3 speed internal hub with a 7 speed SRAM Spectro rear derailleur. It works as if you have a front derailleur in the front but the control is internal in the rear hub. You can't get stuck in the wrong gear at a stop because the SRAM can shift while you're not moving. The R32 rides like a long wheelbase but is the overall length of a short wheel base bike. It has a huge range of very quick adjustability, rare in a recumbent bike. The seat slides 10" with quick release locks.

The components include Cane Creek AD-5 rear shock, Sugino Impel Cranks (170mm), Sunrims rims, Shimano Tiagra front hub, SRAM 3 speed internal hub (awesome and they last forever), SRAM Spectro rear derailleur, Primo Comet tires, SRAM Grips, fenders, lights, basic flat pedals, Blackburn Rack, mirror and anything else on the bike that you see in the pictures. The bike is not perfect cosmetically, some scratches/marks but is structually sound and all of the components work as they should.
