What exact colour is the car you were driving? It doesn't look like the azure blue which is the only shade of blue they seem to offer at the moment. Thanks

My dad had one of these. He also had another in gunmetal grey. I'm quite surprised that it didn't sell for more than that really. Lovely looking car.

It's nice to see someone speak of the visibility inside the car. That's a hell of a deal breaker for me (passed on a Mercedes A180 at an amazing price recently because of that)

Stupid price. You can get a bmw850csi

And then you'd be stuck driving in 850 CSI, a car with no race history, less practicality, less speed and less future appreciation trajectory. The Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth is the winningest race car in history. It won 84% of the races it was ever entered into. The fact you can buy one for under $100,000 is remarkable.

A Cayman is not an alternative to the 911. It’s an awesome stand alone platform, its driving dynamics is arguably superior. Any limitations of a model is on Porsche politics not on the engineers and enthusiasts. Get a PPI pre purchase inspection, but it could make all the difference financially.

The blocks for these were half a Stag V8 engine and had a capacity of 1850cc where the Stag V8 gave 3,000cc and were first used by SAAB in 1968 and then Triumph in 1972. The 16 valve heads arrived in 1973 with 2 litre blocks. Early ones had issues with head gaskets but they could be built to be sublime motors. giving 150hp on standard cams.

I never liked the square front on those, but the engine was a cracker. My last mini was a 1979 1100 Special in silver birch livery. The previous owner had swapped the motor for a mildly tuned 1275....still one of the most fun cars I have ever owned and I wish I still had it.
