Is it JDM?  Would account for the good wheel arches.

A prize for someone surely would be ripping that body kit off with their bare hands and putting the proper CDi bumpers back on.

Fucking hell, the inside is like a dentist's reception area.

I do like the Calibre kit, though. Sorry.

They are incredibly rare now, iirc there's less than 6 on the road.

Because they only built 500 and it was 37 years ago now?

I like the car, not perfect sure but the seats are better than that god awful grey cloth it left the factory with… why did they change from recaro highland cloth?

Another top quality vehicle arrived today and is now live on the site.

I've had the non turbo version as a winter car for the last couple of years and it's been great but not how well this will fare with its lowered suspension, massive alloys and fart cannon! 

It's an acquired taste that's for sure.

One of the conditions of winning a Retroshite car is that Scott tapes the keys between your shoulder blades. You'd never be able to reach them due to being hench so you may as well let me win...

The thing I remember most about mine was that it didn't have enough poke to bring much of a smile to my face.  Was astonishing in the snow though, great winter car.

 

How does this compare? Does it just feel a bit chavvy, or does the turbo give it the edge it deserved?
