And whilst we're on the subject, XR2, Aussie style...

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Ca...

I used to own a Starion (about 20yrs ago) mine was a rather nicer black with grey interior, it was a great car, when the turbo finally came in at 3500rpm.

If anyone fancies an Ozzy XR2 my Dad has one, it's not as nice as that one but it's closer to most as it's slowly turning green on his drive in the Midlands.

I'd have the orange 300ZX because it's orange and I'd keep the spoiler.
I don't mind either, but given it needs paint I reckon it'd do better in a more subtle guise
Go big or go home. It already has massive arches and phat boy rims. Keep the Orange and then it needs the spoiler.

Amusingly grim. Wouldn't want to be seen in it though.

That looks so nice. Seats alone are worth nearly half the asking price!!!

Really like that.

Quite an important car when you think. No Starion = no surprising rally success = no piqued interest and subsequent investment from Mitsubishi = no Galant VR-4 = no Lancer Evolution in any of it's guises.

Mate had the 1.5 in bucket blue for six years, NEVER went wrong, almost no servicing.
Sounds like our experience of Leyland cars too. Pretty much unbustable...
I heard a rumour that the larger landcrabs were unbustable in Australia, where they didn't service them much, and were horrible in the UK where everyone tinkered and overfilled them with oil hehe

My Bluebird looked almost exactly like that. Miss it loads.

Very cool cars.

I bought one for £600 a few years ago. It turned out to be exactly the same car I passed up at auction a few years previous to that after seeing it sputter into life and then limp through the block lop sided due to a suspension leak (although if I had known at the time it was a 32 I'd have bought it anyway!).

Its a very different animal to the Twin Turbo Soarer I had previously although the fuel economy was worse (10MPG around town) and the performance was leisurely at best. Ultimately ended up selling it to the guy advertising this one to chop up for bits.

By far my favourite feature was the 4 wheel Steering. Made driving around centeral London a dream, especially when compared to the standard Soarer's weak steering lock.

As much as I like Soarers, I personally wouldn't buy another 32 for £3k. If you want a V8 GT car with Active suspension you aren't too far off a CL500 at that sort of money.

Nice. A real 1970s aroma in that cabin I bet.

For whatever reason I'd drive it every day!

And yes, it does look like it's from the 1970s!

I know a guy who had a Bluebird from 1989 (brand new) until 2004 when he bought a used Rover 600.

What an anecdote!

He was a work-shy union wker.
