Spec of Carrera Crossfire

How many gears on the cassette?

Little brother has bought a used Carrera Crossfire. I believe the v brakes make this the entry level model, aka Carrera Crossfire 1. Silver frame with turquoise decals may give clues to the model year. I'm assuming this was originally fitted with 8-speed, though I guess it could have been 7-speed. Anyone know for sure?

The Carrera Crossfire has been around for more than 10 years.  Definitely 7 speed on the earlier ones although can't remember if cassette or freewheel.
