ChinaTom Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Did they just bolt on a turbo to the R17 engine and put it in the 18 / Fuego? They were 1565cc if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Searches for Subarus registered 1970-89 in the UK usually prove fruitless, so eBay gave me this instead.

michiel Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 What a beaut. I took a good look at a 1.6 fwd wagon a few weeks ago, but swmbo didn't like it as much as I did... big square barge, cheap, rare, boxer, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Oh! But I was there yesterday pm, MOT'ing one of my bikes- didnt see it. Going thru -to storage later today -keep my eyes peeled!Well I drove through the village last night at about half 7 in the dark but I didn't see it. It was parked outside the small parade of shops just before the Holly tree pub. It was dark green & F reg as they always seem to be. It may possibly be seen sometimes parked up in that other bigger village beginning with B that always has cars for sale parked parallel with the railway line just before/after the station depending on which direction you're coming from. Infact, yes I definitely saw it in that place the other week, I passed it in my car & it was travelling the opposite direction. I had to assume it was the same one.

Some time ago, there was a post with scans of 1980's autotrader ads and we thought we had found a Tredia disguised as a Colt in the description. Here we have a saloon version of the Colt that is not a Tredia. Maybe it was one of these instead - very surprising if so, as I am sure we did not get these in UK.

Were Magirus Deutz available to buy everywhere like the Ivecos, or did they sell mainly to municipal companies?

pogweasel Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 All? ALL? Why how very dare you Mr Ritmo. I'll have you know my sub-2.0 BMW makes a lovely noise. OK, so the sixes do sound nice at idle, I'll admit. But a decent 4-pot at full chat is a glorious sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
