Whooa! That's one for the Cars you didn't know existed thread, for me anyway. What were Fiat thinking, making a 2 door version of the Tempra  (it even looks a bit like the 2nd generation Lancia Delta in the side profile) and then putting the Fiat Lancia twin cam turbo in to further reinforce the Lancia Delta theme, but presumably on a budget.

I never knew about it either. It has a lot of 131 Supermirafiori about it, including the porn star seats

I like these. It's only £1500 and it's got a cool wing on the back. In Brum.

Is it the Prance engine? (VTS 180)

I would like to try one of these. This actually has the old 2.0 N/A EW10 unit, same as in the late 206 GTi 180 (as its ad says), which I would also like a go in one day, to see if the torque steer really is as bad as they say. Prince engines will be turbocharged in one way or another when above 120bhp. I did once lease a Prince-engined 2012 DS3 THP 155 (HV12OGN to look up if you're bored) which was very quick, smooth and economical. A lot better than I thought it was going to be anyway. However, I can imagine it being a bit of a needy little thing nowadays.

Don't just scroll past that one guys.  That looks like an opporchancity.

The exception that proves the rule.  An old Skool Ford for sale in South Africa.  It's not easy/impossible to register an imported car in South Africa (ask me how I know) so I wonder if he's hit registration problems.  I also wonder if it's been nicked off a Dagenham driveway.  12K GBP.

I went to see that in the summer with its previous owner,  now seems to have an MOT which is good but needed a fair bit of work on paint/arches and few bits underneath going to need attention soon.   

Still tempted again 🤦🏼

I think that last MOT looked a bit 'friendly'.....
