[pshome]

Insignia?

 

Exactly 160 PS?

 

... less the horses that went astray during 170.000 km

[pshome]

MG ZT?

 

160 PS not 160 kW ...

[Tamworthbay]

As you have only reserved one space that rules out a Q8, X5 or any soft roader.

[Dave_Q]

160PS? Pffft, thats only 157.8 good old English BHP.

 

I'm going to say Peugeot 505 turbo.

[Junkman]

[r.welfare]

If it's not another Tagora V6 I will be VERY surprised.

[chaseracer]

BX 16v.

 

Above all, this is AS...

 

[UmBongo]

Probably another Renault 20.

[Parky]

Turbo diesel Maxi?

[doobietoo]

Renault Saffering?

[danthecapriman]

If it isn't this I'm classing this thread a fail!

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Can't be one of these then, 2ps short.

 

[pshome]

If it's not another Tagora V6 I will be VERY surprised.

 

Nobody needs 5 Tagora and 160 is 6 PS short of a SX.

With the gauge above I thought Volvo or very possibly Saab but I have never had a car with a Turbo gauge so what would I know!

We have two winners! You both win a VIP seat in the front row to watch this collection.

 

It's a 1987 505 Turbo Injection. 2.2L engine of Tagora origin, this is obviously the perfect choice for daily driving.

Comes with a tasteful "Evolution kit" Including rear and front spoilers, a plastic panel between the rear lights and side skirts.
