Had this model in red ( E reg ) in my youth and can honestly say, it was probably the best car I’ve ever owned for putting a smile on ya face. I’ve had in my 35 years of driving...205 and 309 GTi’s, Nova GTE, Astra SXi and GTE 16v, Cavalier GSi 16v 4x4, Calibra 16v, pug 405 mi 16v, Audi TT 225 convertable, Renault Megan 225 and a Clio RS to name a few. Mi mate at the time when I owned it, had a Porsche 911 Carrera ( C reg ) and when we were out and about, especially up on the moors if we went for blast, I’d be stuck on his arse like a limpet, could never shake me off, that’s how good this little beauty was.....happy days and boy do I miss it....drive a diesel now 😆.

This is the trouble with cars that have been rebuilt by car renovation programs. A big majority of people get 'informed' after the show, exactly how such an example COULD be worth, and quite rightly, they get scared, and ultimately sell it on for a nice price.

@mikefranky4 жыл бұрын
Ben Rogers ......If I remember correctly they were roughly 120hp and you get roughly 150-160 Hp by fitting bleed valve a bit crude method but it worked The intercoolers were weak in them as the sides would blow with the increase pressure so you would have the strapped or put an all alloy one on them....happy memories 👍 My mate had the blue raider model hate to think what they are worth now
