It's fantastic seeing my old car, still looking great. The car has come along way from the shell that was dug out of a shed back in 2009 and I know it will be well loved by its new owner

@ae86racer007 it does indeed have a fresh air als system, runs a turbosmart alv40 valve and bmw 740i icv valve across the throttle blade. Needs an upgraded ecu to run it though ad the s80 was out of i/o

I had seen this one a ripon a few years ago and didnt realise it was running that sort of power. The odd person says that england got some 2 door asconas back in the day but pretty sure we didnt. Rest of europe did and unsure of ireland if they had them and in rhd. Only seen lhd examples for the exception of one used in a rally - circuit of ireland back in the early 80s. White v reg that wasnt 400/sport/i2000.

Worked with a guy in a garage in 1989 who had a RHD 1600S Berlinetta two door, Vermillion orange with Rostyle wheels, cant remember the reg, pretty sure it was a 79 T plate, it was a pretty special car even back then.
