I was laughing at the bit of rolled-up carpet until I realised I've got some in my garage too.

Weird pogweaseling, do we think that's where the sun comes in from the open garage door?

On the bonnet, you mean? Isn't that just a spot where the seller has brushed off the dust?

I know a few have binned the Ecotec lump  and retrofitted an XE. That definitely isn't an XE though. I know the Ecotecs are around 20bhp less than their forefather - what are they like performance-wise in comparison? I loved the XEs I ran in my old Cavalier GSis - engine note was fruity and they were such willing lumps. I assume GM replaced the XE with a lesser quality item due to emissions?

A unique car with very interesting history. Subject to a 5-page article in Auto Italia magazine in 2017. Only 37,000 kilometres (22,000 miles) from new.

An original RHD car ordered in Italy and kept there until 2017. It was apparently ordered by Australian nuns based there and spent a long while in storage hence its preservation and very low mileage

I had no idea these came with a 1.8T! Always assumed it was the N/A 1.6 and the diesels.

The Bora was pitched as a competitor to the 3 series. You can get them with all sorts of engines, V5, VR6.

In my opinion the Bora is better, looks better, doesn't necessarily get the stigma attached like BM's usually do, and are quite rare now, certainly good ones are

I liked driving my 90 TDI Bora that loved veg and I remapped at home to make it more of a 115 or 120.

Looks a bit like...            Don't say it...             Just don't even bother saying, what it looks like...          Looks like that mystery car that is still a mystery.

Think I'll do some 3D CAD work on this.

Thsts been well loved by the previous owner, he did an absolute peen of work to it. Its a GLS although it looks like an SRi. Hope it gets sold on to someone that appreciates it a bit more than the guy who has it there.  Thankfully he took off the awful tint film that he applied the front lights for a short time.
