Even these Gti’s could be a lottery, but there were a couple in this spec badged as Twin Cam that were proper rapid, felt quicker than the 420’s we had because they revved forever. It must have been the pick of the bunch because John Towers’ wife worked for us and she specced a bright red416 GTi Twin Cam with full leather as her company car even though she could have had a 3 Series or 800. Presumably he pointed her in the right direction. MisterH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
